Cardinals Target Garoppolo After Murray Release

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 4th, the Arizona Cardinals are shaking up their quarterback room by planning to release Kyler Murray after six seasons. Now talk is heating up about them targeting Jimmy Garoppolo as a potential starter as early as 2026. Garoppolo, a free agent who backed up for the Los Angeles Rams last year, brings 12 years of pro-experience with a 67.4%, completion rate, over 15,000 yards, and 96 touchdowns. Earlier this week, reports confirm the Cardinals notified Murray of his upcoming release, ending his time as their number one overall pick from 2019. This move clears the deck for new head coach Michael Flore to rebuild the offense his way, blending elements from past systems he's known well. Fans and insiders are buzzing about the fit, with many seeing Garoppolo as a steady bridge option rather than a splashy star. His track record and rhythm-based attacks matches La Flore style, and he'd lean on stars like tight-in-trae McBride while the team grooms a draft.

La Flore coach Garoppolo with the Rams and back in San Francisco, while General Manager Monty Austin Ford scouted him early in New England. These connections could make a smooth transition. Meanwhile, Garoppolo has solid backup spots open elsewhere, like staying with the Rams, but Arizona's interest stands out as a chance to start again. Keep an eye on free agency and the draft for how this plays out. This DNN story comes to you thanks to our sponsor. Head in, sound on, lights out, that is the routine.
