Steelers Eye Kyler Murray Trade, Projected to Cost a Second-Round Pick

AutoDraft Pro AI

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly exploring a trade for Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray, with CBS Sports projecting a second-round pick as the acquisition cost. Murray's situation is expected to resolve before March 15th, when his $19.7 million base salary for 2027 becomes fully guaranteed. The weak 2026 NFL Draft QB class may increase interest in veteran signal-callers like Murray. He missed significant time in two of the last three seasons due to injury, playing only five games in 2025 with a 2-3 record, 6 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions. Murray is a two-time Pro Bowl selection (2020, 2021).
