They plan to release the 28-year-old on March 11th, the first day of the New League year. This in speculation about trading his five-year, $230 million contract, from 2022. Murray, the top pick in the 2019 draft, has spent his whole pro career with Arizona. He earned two pro-bowl nods over seven seasons, but led the team to the playoffs only once. Now Murray gets $36.8 million from the Cardinals in 2026. That means he can sign for the veteran minimum anywhere, making him a cheap option for all 32 teams.

The Jets have young stars like Garrett Wilson, while the Vikings offer a fan-friendly offense with Justin Jefferson. Murray can pick his next spot, a rare chance for a proven starter with 87 career games under his belt. Expect interest to heat up as free agency ramps up. Outro, outro.
