The Minnesota Vikings are making a major push to sign quarterback Kyler Murray and are currently the favorites to land the former No. 1 overall pick, according to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Murray was officially released by the Arizona Cardinals today, ending his tenure with the franchise that drafted him first overall in 2019. While the Vikings have emerged as the "team to beat" in the sweepstakes for the dual-threat quarterback, Murray reportedly plans to take his time with the process. Sources indicate that he intends to speak with multiple interested teams before committing to a new contract.
The move by the Cardinals to release Murray makes the two-time Pro Bowler one of the most high-profile free agents available. During his time in Arizona, Murray established himself as one of the league's most dynamic playmakers, winning the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. He now looks to find a new home, with Minnesota positioned at the forefront of the pursuit.
