Cardinals to Release Kyler Murray

Murray confirmed his release in a social media post, thanking fans and expressing readiness for the next chapter. He said he had wanted to end the Cardinals’ 77‑year drought but failed, and he will look forward to proving himself elsewhere.

The Cardinals, who finished 3‑14 and fired coach Jonathan Gannon, had grown frustrated with Murray, who was owed $36.8 million in guaranteed money. After a foot injury in Week 5, backup Jacoby Brissett stepped in, creating a quarterback controversy that led to Murray’s placement on injured reserve.
