Cardinals Release Kyler Murray

After five seasons with the Cardinals, Murray will become a free agent. The team had grown frustrated with the former Heisman winner, who was owed $36.8 million in guaranteed money. Murray played in just five games last season before suffering a foot injury.

Murray thanked Arizona fans in his social media post, expressing regret that he couldn't end the team's 77-year drought. Despite high expectations when he arrived in 2019, including an AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award, the Cardinals never reached the Super Bowl during his tenure.
