The team plans to release the former number one overall pick, making him a free agent heading into 2026. He missed most of last season with a foot injury from week five and never made it back on the field. The Cardinals still face a huge dead cap hit of either $47 million or $54 million, depending on the timing of the cut. That leaves Murray available at a bargain price for teams looking to add a proven quarterback. Both sides seem ready for a fresh start. Insiders report Murray has strong interest in a few spots, with the Minnesota Vikings as his top choice. He joined a talented offense featuring Justin Jefferson under Coach Kevin O'Connell, who revived Sam Darnold last year. Rookie JJ McCarthy could compete there too. The Indianapolis Colts are another option Murray likes, especially with coach Shane Steikon's quarterback friendly scheme.

For now, Minnesota leaves the pack according to multiple reports. Murray's two pro bonoads and mobility make him an intriguing reset for any contender aiming for the playoffs in 2026.
