Kyler Murray

5 Teams That Could Land First-Overall Pick

The Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Kyler Murray on the injured reserve in a move that could unofficially signal the end of his tenure with the team.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Brissett would remain the starter regardless of Murray’s health status, which means Kyler Murray has likely played his last game with the team. Murray is a top-32 quarterback in the NFL and deserves to start somewhere, but he’s not good enough to justify his $230.5 million contract. While nobody will give him that type of money, any one of the following teams could give him a shot on a cheap one-year deal.
