7:40 a.m. — Latest on Kyler Murray
Why was it so quiet in the Kyler Murray world on Monday? According to Arizona sports insider John Gambadora, Murray's camp is simply playing by the rules. Despite widespread belief that he'll be released, Murray isn't allowed to talk with other teams until the Cardinals make an official announcement.
"Kyler Murray and his camp seem to be playing everything within the rules. Am told they will not discuss him with any other teams until he is officially released by the Cardinals. Could be why everything with him was so quiet today," Gambadoro said late Monday night.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Tuesday morning that he still likes the Vikings as the favorite to sign Murray, "but until and unless the Arizona Cardinals go public with their plans to say goodbye to Kyler Murray, he is stuck in a little bit of a limbo situation."

NFL Media's Mike Garafolo allegedly said the Giants made an offer to Vikings passing game coordinator/QB coach Josh McCown to be their passing game coordinator, but the Vikings blocked it from happening. Garafolo also apparently said McCown interviewed with the Giants for their offensive coordinator job.
