There is on a Cardinals' plan to release Kyler Murray on Tuesday, making the quarterback a free agent. This shakes up the Pittsburgh Steelers, who face questions at the position heading into next season. The Steelers are holding out for Aaron Rodgers to decide if he wants to play in 2026. He took them to the playoffs last year and shares a long history with new head coach Mike McCarthy. So a return makes sense if he's interested. If Rodgers passes, Murray enters the picture as a possible backup plan. Reports from team insiders highlight that McCarthy has liked Murray's skills for some time now. A key draw is Murray's low cost at just $1.3 million dollars for next season. That leaves Pittsburgh with plenty of cap space to chase other talent or even a talk quarterback. For now, it's anyone's guess if McCarthy pushes hard for Murray. The price is right, but the team must decide if he fits their future plans.
