Episode Details

The Arizona Cardinals are facing a significant decision regarding quarterback Kyler Murray before March 15th, when a $17 million roster bonus becomes due, locking in his $19.5 million salary for 2023. The Cardinals are likely to either trade or release Murray to avoid this full commitment. The Minnesota Vikings, who drafted J.J. McCarthy in 2024, are reportedly interested in Murray as a veteran bridge option, as McCarthy has been slowed by injuries. Releasing Murray would mean the Cardinals eating most of his $22.8 million salary this year, while a trade could bring back draft picks or players and shift his future money to the new team. Teams considering a deal know they hold leverage, as the Cardinals could simply cut Murray loose, taking on over $70 million over two years. The potential quarterback shifts could significantly impact the league in the coming weeks.
