Rob Parker Calls for Kyler Murray to Quit Football for Baseball as Cardinals Predicted to Cut $230,500,000 QB in 2026

Kyler Murray’s injuries and benching have led to a likely offseason split, with the Cardinals facing a $57.7 million dead cap hit if they release him in 2026.

  • On Nov. 4, the Arizona Cardinals placed Kyler Murray on injured reserve with a mid-foot sprain, ensuring he will miss at least four games while Jacoby Brissett remains the starter.
  • After an ACL tear and recovery in year five, Kyler Murray’s Arizona Cardinals offense went 2-3, failing to score more than 21 points in all but one game.
  • According to financial reports, a release before June 1 would trigger a $57.7 million dead-cap hit for Arizona, but trading Kyler Murray before June 1 would save $35.3 million while leaving $17.9 million in dead money.
  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported many sources say a separation is imminent as Arizona Cardinals and Kyler Murray are expected to have extensive talks this offseason.
  • A key deadline in mid-March requires the Arizona Cardinals to decide before $19.5 million of Kyler Murray's 2027 salary becomes guaranteed on the fifth day of the new league year.
