The Arizona Cardinals plan to release quarterback Kyler Murray at the start of the new league year, making the former number one overall pick a top. Free agent target. The 28-year-old dual-threat star could draw interest from teams like the Atlanta Falcons, who need quarterback help. Murray has solid numbers over seven NFL seasons, passing for more than 20,000 yards, 121 touchdowns, and 60 picks. He's also rushed for over 3,000 yards in 32 scores since entering the league in 2019, earning two pro-bowl nods and, rookie of the year, honors. Meanwhile, the Falcons are moving on from Kirk Cousins and turning to Michael Penix Jr. as their presumed starter. But Penix is recovering from a torn ACL just three months ago, and he's only four and eight as a starter with mixed passing results. See Atlanta as a possible fit for Murray.

1:01CVS Sports listed the Falcons among five landing spots, noting they might want a veteran option if the price is right, especially with Penix's injury, concerns. Murray's injury history, he's missed 27 games over the last four years, could influence his choice. At five feet 10 inches and 207 pounds, he'll likely pick the best team fit over the biggest paycheck when free agency opens March 11th. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
