The 28-year-old quarterback has already been told he's being cut, and multiple sources expect him to sign with the Minnesota Vikings right. After the league year starts on March 13th, reports from insiders like Connor Hughes and Albert Breer confirm Minnesota has Murray's top choice. The New York Jets talked about him too, but the buzz is, he'll land with the Vikings. This could be a game-changer for Minnesota. The Cardinals are paying Murray $36.8 million in guaranteed money so he can join for the league minimum of $1.3 million. That's a steal for a CapTi team needing a quarterback boost. Murray would enter as the favorite to start over young JJ McCarthy. Insiders say he'd only sign if he's set as QB1, much like veterans who've quickly taken over in similar spots.

1:00If Murray shines, the Vikings might lock him up long-term to avoid past mistakes. That could spell the end for McCarthy and Minnesota, opening doors for the 23-year-old elsewhere.
