The Arizona Cardinals plan to release quarterback Kyler Murray on March 11, the first day of the New League year. This move ends his time with the team after weeks of rumors, as confirmed by ESPN reporter Adam Schefter. At 28 years old and a two-time pro-buller, Murray now hits free agency, with the Cardinals still owing him big money from future guarantees. Murray has shown explosive talent when healthy, but entries have held him back in recent years. He played just 5 games in 2025, 8 in 2023, and 11 the year before that. Still, his upside makes him a hot name for team's desperate for a quarterback fix. Right away, top turn to the New York Jets as a prime landing spot. Reporters like Zach Rosenblatt from The Athletic say this release boosts the chances of the Jets jumping in, since Arizona covers most of his salary. ESPN's Ritz Semini also flag Murray as a strong option for New York.

1:01The Jets finish 3 and 14 last season, but have solid building blocks. They both superstar-wire receiver Garrett Wilson, just franchise tag running back Breeze Hall, and above average offensive line, and promising. Tied in Mason Taylor, plus they have plenty of salary cap room and brought in Frank Reich to revamp the offense. Compared to other free agent quarterbacks like Kirk Cousins or Russell Wilson, Murray stands out with the most potential. For a team like the Jets, rolling the dice on a young star, he could be the perfect high reward move as free agency kicks off. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor, Link in the description.
