Cardinals QB Kyler Murray's Future Uncertain Amidst Contract Guarantees

Despite previous assumptions of an offseason move, Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray's future with the team is not set in stone. Murray, who was placed on season-ending IR last year with a foot injury, still has $36.7 million in guarantees for 2026 and $19.5 million for 2027 if on the roster in March. New head coach Mike LaFleur has not closed the door on Murray staying, expressing respect for him as a player. A league source suggests moving on from an "above-average QB with warts" without a clear replacement could set the organization back, especially given Murray's young age (28).
