Kyler Murray might not be sticking around in Arizona much longer. The Cardinals are reportedly willing to part ways with their quarterback this month if they cannot find a trade partner willing to take him on.
Murray’s had trouble staying healthy. The former No. 1 overall pick and two-time Pro Bowler sat out 12 games last season after dealing with a foot injury. It has become a pattern at this point. Over the last five years, he has managed to play a full regular season just once.

Despite the durability questions, Murray’s been productive when he’s been on the field. Across seven seasons with Arizona, he has thrown for 20,460 yards and 121 touchdowns while earning a pair of Pro Bowl selections.

His name has already started making the rounds in trade rumors, with the New York Jets emerging as a potential landing spot given their expected quarterback change this offseason.

But not everyone’s convinced Murray would be the right fit in New York. On Monday, SNY’s Connor Hughes spoke with a coach who previously worked alongside Murray during his time with the Cardinals, and the feedback was not exactly glowing.
“Long term, though? For a young, developing team? “It would be a disaster,” said one coach who worked with Murray in Arizona. That source cited concerns about work ethic, leadership, and locker-room connectivity during his time with the Cardinals. He’s not a person people follow.” Hughes noted.

Still, Murray will not be short on suitors if Arizona does cut him loose. The 2019 top pick and 2018 Heisman Trophy winner has already drawn interest from multiple franchises.
Teams like the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, and Pittsburgh Steelers are all dealing with uncertainty under center and could potentially make a move.
