About this episode

Arizona Cardinals Release Kyler Murray: A New Era Begins

The Arizona Cardinals have decided to part ways with quarterback Kyler Murray, informing him they plan to release him on March 11th, unless a trade occurs first. This move comes despite the team still owing Murray a significant portion of his guaranteed money. Murray, the number one overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, earned Rookie of the Year honors and made two Pro Bowls during his seven seasons with the Cardinals. The teams decision to release Murray marks the end of a challenging chapter, with Murray now hitting free agency as a top option for teams like the Vikings, Steelers, and Dolphins. The Cardinals will only lose two million in cap space this year, leaving them with approximately twenty-eight million to spend in free agency. Names like Malik Willis and draft prospect Ty Simpson are on their radar as they look towards a fresh start.

For the NFL, it's March 3rd. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Arizona Cardinals are moving on from quarterback Kyler Murray. They informed him they planned to release him on March 11th, the first day of the new league year, unless the trade happens first. This gives both sides a week to prepare, even though Arizona still owes him a big chunk of guaranteed money. Murray came into the league as the number one overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He earned, rookie of the year honors, and made two probals during his seven seasons with the Cardinals. His speed and arm made him exciting, but the team only reached the playoffs once amid coaching changes and ups and downs. Fans and analysts see this as the end of a tough chapter. Murray hits free agency as a top option, with teams like the Vikings, Steelers, and Dolphins likely calling. He can sign cheap elsewhere since Arizona eats most of his contract through a $54 million debt cap hit.

For the Cardinals, the move cost them just 2 million in cap space this year, leaving them with about 28 million to spend in free agency. They have Jacobi Berset signed for another season and could add via the draft or market. Meanwhile, names like Malik Willis in Free Agency and draft prospect Ty Simpson are on their radar. It's a fresh start for everyone after a disappointing run. Thanks to our sponsor for helping bring you this episode. Some chase piece. I put my head in it.
