Most know that one way or another, Kyler Murray's time with the Arizona Cardinals is coming to an end.
Exactly when that will be is anyone's guess, but the smart money would be on this offseason. The Cardinals want a fresh start (likely Kyler, too), and it would be in the best interest of both parties to move on.
But the question is, where could Murray land? And would it be via a trade or a release? Because either way, the Cardinals will eat some dead money.
Well, Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport has a cap-saving scenario and has Murray and a 2025 fifth-round pick going to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick.
"If Aaron Rodgers decides to hang them up, the Steelers will be left with Mason Rudolph and Will Howard under center," Davenport wrote. "It's hard to argue against Murray being an upgrade over both of those players, and the Steelers haven't been shy about taking stabs at veteran reclamation projects at the position in recent years."

Murray would raise Pittsburgh's floor
I'm not sure how Steelers fans would feel about this, and you could make the case with Mike McCarthy that Murray might give Pittsburgh a better chance to win than Rodgers. After all, Aaron is 42 and isn't one to roll out and extend plays.
At least with Murray, the Steelers quarterback won't be rooted to a spot on every play, with the threat of him escaping and rolling out for a big gain there on every play.
Now, Murray likely isn't the long-term answer (he might be), but it would give the Steelers something different. It might be a little costly, but something has to change in Pittsburgh, right?
So why not kick the tires on Kyler?
