As far as Murray playing for the vet minimum … not seeing that happening. It might not be an obscene deal but he’ll have paying suitors.

We’ll see what happens but where slimy agents are involved …

But he won't make any more money - the Cardinals will just pay him less. So it doesn't benefit Murray in any way to take more than the minimum. It just hurts his new team.

--------------

Kyler Murray is being released by the Arizona Cardinals with $36.8 million in guaranteed money remaining for 2026, which features offset language. Due to this, any new team can sign him for the veteran minimum (approx. $1.3M) in 2026, while the Cardinals pay the remainder of his guaranteed salary.

Financial Impact: The Cardinals are on the hook for $36.8 million, which will be reduced by whatever amount his new team pays him, providing Arizona with minimal cap relief.

--------------

So if a team offers him 10M, he still gets 36.8M. But Arizona is only on the hook for 26.8M of that.
