Cardinals face pivotal decision on Kyler Murray | JQJO

The Arizona Cardinals are weighing Kyler Murray’s future as a mid March trigger approaches that would guarantee another $19.5 million. Extensive talks are expected, but sources believe a split is likely, with one saying “a separation is imminent.” Murray was placed on injured reserve with a mid foot sprain, sidelined at least four games while Jacoby Brissett starts; with Brissett, Arizona has averaged 25.7 points and 357 yards versus 18.8 and 288 with Murray. Murray has $36.8 million guaranteed next year. A trade would save $35.3 million; a release could mean $57.7 million in dead cap.
