Overview
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Arizona is seeking a trade partner for the quarterback.
- Murray is due nearly $23 million in 2026 and remains under team control through 2027 with a 2028 club option.
- ESPN analyst Ben Solak projects the current deal would yield only a Day 3 pick unless Arizona absorbs salary.
- Cutting Murray would trigger a dead-cap hit north of $54.7 million, while a trade could free about $35 million.
- Solak cites the Jets as a plausible fit given cap flexibility and outlines speculative alternatives for Arizona including Jimmy Garoppolo, Malik Willis, Ty Simpson, or a bridge year with Jacoby Brissett.
