The Arizona Cardinals have officially released quarterback Kyler Murray, according to @AdamSchefter. The move marks a massive shift for the franchise, as they part ways with the former No. 1 overall pick and the face of their offense for the past five seasons.
With Murray now an unrestricted free agent, the Minnesota Vikings have immediately emerged as the "overwhelming favorite" to land the dual-threat signal-caller. Per Schefter, league sources believe a deal with Minnesota is highly likely, with one source stating, “I’d be shocked if he’s not a Viking.”
Murray, a two-time Pro Bowler and the 2019 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, had been the cornerstone of the Cardinals franchise since he was drafted out of Oklahoma. His departure creates an immediate void at the quarterback position in Arizona and sets the stage for a potential blockbuster signing for the Vikings as they look to solidify their roster.
