US EditionVikings Hosting Kyler Murray on a Free Agent Visit After Cardinals Released Him, AP Source Says
Kyler Murray is expected to sign a one-year contract to provide quarterback depth for the Minnesota Vikings following his release by the Arizona Cardinals.
- On March 12, 2026, the Minnesota Vikings are hosting Kyler Murray on a free-agent visit, confirmed to The Associated Press as part of their quarterback search around the 2019 first overall pick.
- A mix of missed games and a contract kerfuffle prompted the Arizona Cardinals to cut Kyler Murray when the new league year began Wednesday despite owing him $36.8 million guaranteed.
- As Ian Rapoport noted, 'He spent the last 12 hours or so talking to different teams, talking to different decision-makers, getting ahead of the 2027 free agency process' as Murray's résumé includes a Heisman Trophy, AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, and highlights like the 'Hail Murray' and two Pro Bowl selections.
- The Vikings lack many options this year to replace J.J. McCarthy, whose 2025 injuries limited him to 10 starts and eight games finished; a quick deal for Kyler Murray could add veteran depth and alter Minnesota's 2026 plans.
- Insiders expect Adam Schefter to say 'He is expected to sign a one-year deal. We presume it to be with Minnesota.' so Murray can play well, become a free agent next year, and pursue a long-term contract like Sam Darnold.
