Cardinals Release Kyler Murray, Adding QB Market Option

Arizona Cardinals will release quarterback Kyler Murray when the new league year begins on March 11, the player confirmed in a social media post.

Cardinals reportedly grew frustrated with Murray, who is owed $36.8 million in guaranteed money. The quarterback played in just five games last season before suffering a foot injury, with backup Jacoby Brissett performing well in his absence.

Murray arrived in Arizona with high expectations after winning the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma. He had notable moments including the "Hail Murray" play in 2020 and led the team to a 10-2 record in 2021, though they faded down the stretch.
