Cardinals' QB Future: Willis or Simpson?

About this episode

The Arizona Cardinals are considering their quarterback options, with Kyler Murrays future uncertain. Theyre eyeing free agent Malik Willis, but his high price tag may push them to the draft. A mock draft has them trading up to select Alabamas Ty Simpson, a play-action specialist with limited college starts. Simpsons smaller frame mirrors Murrays, and veteran Jacoby Brissett could bridge the gap. General manager Monti Ossenfort faces a tough decision, weighing the risks of a high-priced free agent against drafting a rookie.

On this March 3rd, here's what's making headlines for the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals face big decisions at quarterback as they plan for the future. With Kyler Murray's time in Arizona, likely winding down, the team is eyeing free agency or the draft. Malik Willis stands out as a top free agent target, but his projected price tag of $30 million could push them elsewhere. A recent mock draft from ESPN's Jordan Reed has the Cardinals trading into the late first round. He would swap a 20-26 second round pick and a fourth rounder with the Houston Texans for the 28th overall selection. There, they grab Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson as their long-term answer. Fans and analysts see Simpson fitting well in new coach Mike LaFloor's offense. He shines on play-action passes and in short-to-medium ranges, though his limited 15 college starts at some risk. Veteran Jacobi Preset could bridge the gap while Simpson develops. Simpson put up strong numbers in his one full-starting season, with 3,567 passing yards, 28 touchdowns,

in just five picks. At 6 feet 2 and 208 pounds, he's on the smaller side, much like the Cardinals' past pick of 5 foot 9 Kyler Murray. General manager Monty Osonfort feels the heat after a 3 and 14 season. He has one year left on Preset and must weigh the high cost of Willis against drafting a rookie. Half-carries risks, but a smart move could spark a turnaround next year. The Daily News Now is May possible with support from our sponsor. Some people meditate.
