NFL stories making news on March 5th. The Oakland Athletics still own the MLB draft rights to Kyler Murray, their ninth overall pick from 2018. With his NFL career stalled by injuries, whispers are growing about a possible switch back to baseball. Murray agreed to finish one final college football season at Oklahoma before joining the A's. Instead, he lit up the field, set passing records, won the Heisman Trophy, and went first overall to the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. Early in his pro football days, Murray dazzled fans, but trouble hit in 2022 with an ACL tear after just 11 games. He returned late the next year, showed promise in 2024, then suffered a foot injury early this season against the Tennessee Titans, landing on injured reserve. Talk now swirls that Arizona might release him to dodge $19,500,000 in contract guarantees. It's wonder if the A's center field picture could get a boost. Still, at 28, Murray would face a long minor league grind in baseball chasing big league

money years away. The A's recent draft hits, like last year's top two AL rookies, highlight their success without him. This DNN story is thanks to our sponsor details in the description.
