Two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Kyler Murray has signed a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings, according to his agent Erik Burkhardt via Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The agreement includes a no-tag clause, ensuring Murray will be eligible for free agency at the conclusion of the deal. Financially, Murray is set to make $36.8 million this season. Under the terms reported, the Arizona Cardinals will pay the vast majority of that salary, with the Vikings responsible only for the league-minimum portion of the contract.
Murray, a former first-overall pick, moves to the Vikings after his tenure with the Cardinals. The inclusion of the no-tag clause and the specific salary distribution between the two franchises mark the key components of this high-profile quarterback addition for Minnesota. No further details regarding the timing of his arrival at the team facility have been released at this time.
