NFL Roundup: Cardinals officially release QB Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray is officially on the market.

The Arizona Cardinals released Murray on Wednesday, making him a free agent for the first time after seven seasons with the franchise.

Murray was reportedly a priority target of the Minnesota Vikings. He's not the only veteran quarterback who was released on the first day of the league year.

Kirk Cousins was let go by the Falcons, ending his two-year stint in Atlanta at the halfway mark of a four-year, $180 million deal he signed in free agency after leaving Minnesota in March 2024.
