The Arizona Cardinals have been at the center of the quarterback universe for the last number of weeks, with the expectation being that they will move on from Kyler Murray, and they have now down just that.
“Cardinals have informed QB Kyler Murray that they intend to release him on the first day of the league year next Wednesday, barring a trade between now and then,” Adam Schefter reports. “Arizona already owes him $36.8M guaranteed in 2026, and another $19.5M would have triggered on March 15 for 2027. He now will be moving on.”
Considering the Steelers’ current quarterback situation, Murray will certainly be a name to watch out for. His situation is similar to that of Russell Wilson in 2024 when Denver released him. The Broncos signed Wilson to a five-year, $245 million extension upon acquiring him from the Seattle Seahawks – an extension he never played a down on. The Broncos released him and spread a dead cap hit of $85 million across 2024 and 2025.
Murray has missed 21 games over the last three seasons due to injury, though 2025 felt more like a soft benching than an inability to return. In seven seasons, Murray has thrown 121 touchdowns to 60 interceptions with a passer rating of 92.2. He’s also added 32 touchdowns on the ground, and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2020 and 2021.
