Cardinals Cut Murray, Pursue Garoppolo

0:00On April 5th, Arizona Cardinals just cut ties with Kyler Murray heading into the offseason, leaving a huge gap a quarterback under new head coach. Michael LaFlore, they hope for a trade, but ended up releasing him outright, now scrambling to fill the most critical spot on the roster. They brought in Jacobi Perset, who's 33 and coming off his best year in his 10th season, though the team went just 1 and 11 with, him starting. To bolster death, they also signed Gardner Menshu, a one-time pro-bola who's 29, on a cheap one-year deal worth up to 5.7, $5 million. Word is, Menshu wasn't their top choice. Reports say they pursued Jimmy Garoppolo, the two-time Super Bowl backup champ, but talks hit a snag, forcing a quick pivot to Menshu instead. Garoppolo's still on the market, and insider's note he could still land in Arizona, and even take over from Perset if things line up right. He's got history with LaFlore, who was his offensive coordinator the last two years with the Rams.
