Kyler Murray to Texans? Pros and Cons

About this episode

The Arizona Cardinals are set to release quarterback Kyler Murray, who has struggled with injuries and poor play this season. The Houston Texans are considering him as a backup, despite having C.J. Stroud as starter and Davis Mills as number two. While Murray has starting experience and could offer an upgrade, Mills has gone 3-0 as a starter since last year and has a strong team behind him. The Texans are likely to stick with Mills, but the market for Murray could change things.

For the NFL, it's March 6th. Here's what's happening. The Arizona Cardinals planned to release quarterback Kyler Murray this week. Drafted number one overall in 2019, Murray signed a big second contract, but struggled this season with injuries and poor play. He got benched for Jacobi Per set, and now the team faces a huge deadcap hit anyway. This sparks talk about the Houston Texans possibly grabbing Murray as a backup. They have CJ. Stroud locked in a starter, and Davis Mills is number two. But with limited cap space, trading Mills could bring draft picks, and Murray might offer an upgrade over him. Fans and analysts see upsides like better talent for Murray, who has starting experience plus a chance for him to rebound like Sam Darnal did elsewhere. It could give Houston's stronger depth if Stroud gets hurt long term. On the flip side, Mills has gone three and no as a starter since last year, beating tough teams like Jacksonville and Buffalo. He knows the system, and the defense rallies behind him, which a newcomer like Murray

might not match right away. Overall, it's a fun thought, but slim odds. Murray will chase starter jobs with teams like Minnesota or the Jets. Houston likely sticks with Mills unless the market flops for Murray heading into 2026. DNN is sponsored by our partner, check out the episode description. Press play. Point your head down.
