After months of speculation and endless analysts droning on about Kyler Murray going to the Vikings is he were to be released by the Cardinals, Thursday he signed ... with the Vikings.
Murray, who is being paid by the Cardinals this season under his old contract, signed for one year at the league minimum $1.3 million. The only question is whether he will be atop the depth chart heading into offseason workouts, after J.J. McCarthy struggled in his first season starting in 2025.
My take: Murray should be QB1 over the underwhelming McCarthy. Murray did well in Arizona under offensive-minded head coach Kliff Kingsbury. He's got another one now in Kevin O'Connell, who recently revived Sam Darnold's career. Murray can hope for the same result ... if given the opportunity.
