US EditionReport: Cardinals to Release QB Kyler Murray Barring Trade Offers
Kyler Murray will enter free agency as a top quarterback, with the Cardinals facing a $54 million dead cap hit and moving forward with Jacoby Brissett.
- On Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Cardinals informed Kyler Murray they intend to release him on March 11, barring a trade. The decision gives about a week's notice before the move.
- Following months of speculation, the team decided to part ways with Murray after injuries, inconsistent play, and coaching changes, as sources said.
- The Cardinals take a $2 million immediate cap hit, carry a $54 million dead-cap charge, and have roughly $28 million entering free agency.
- Once released, Murray will be free to sign with any team next week, with several clubs expected to pursue him while the team relies on Jacoby Brissett for one more season.
- The decision signals a franchise reset as the 3-14 record and fired coach Jonathan Gannon underline broader shifts, with Arizona Cardinals planning to add outside free agents and the 2026 draft to bolster the quarterback room.
