Cardinals Release Kyler Murray as New QB Market Opens

The Cardinals will release Kyler Murray on March 11, concluding his stint after a 3-14 season marred by injuries and a quarterback controversy.

Murray confirmed his release via social media, thanking fans and expressing readiness for the next chapter. The decision follows a season where he played only five games, throwing 962 yards, six TDs and three INTs before a foot injury ended his campaign.

Arizona finished 3-14, fired coach Jonathan Gannon, and had a quarterback battle with Jacoby Brissett that highlighted the team's struggles. Murray, once a Heisman winner and AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, had moments of brilliance but ultimately could not sustain the early 2021 surge.
