Cardinals Beat: Team, QB Kyler Murray could part ways in offseason

Could Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray be traded?

So I poked around. And I learned there are too many moving parts for a Murray trade to happen now. Not many teams would be willing to even consider it. Murray, even without a no-trade clause, would have to be willing to embrace the change of venue. His contract would be an issue. Having fewer suitors would reduce any leverage he’d possibly have for a through-the-door extension. So, despite the current existence of an awkward vibe between Murray and the Cardinals (dating back to the ill-advised “homework” clause in his 2022 extension), he won’t be going anywhere this season.

That said, an offseason trade is very realistic. If not likely.

Fantasy Impact: 

This is just the opinion of PFT's Mike Florio, of course. But perhaps the best point made is this isn't the current regime's choice for QB, and when a new regime takes over they tend to want their guys in place. As the story said, HC Rich Gannon is already in his third year and likely won't make the playoffs again. Florio said teams like the Dolphins, Jets, Steelers, Browns, Raiders, Vikings, and Saints could all be looking for new QBs for next season. Florio said a trade before Tuesday's deadline appears to be too complicated, which makes an offseason move more likely in Florio's opinion.
