Ever since he was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Kyler Murray has not had quite the dominant success that the Arizona Cardinals would have hoped, leading the team to just one playoff appearance throughout his career. But it sounds like the team is still very much committed to him going forward.
According to a report from NFL insider Dianna Russini this weekend, the Arizona Cardinals have made it “very clear” that Kyler Murray will be their starting quarterback for the foreseeable future.
“I ran into Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon and was blown away by his support of Kyler Murray,” Russini wrote for The Athletic. “It’s very clear Murray is their guy. It’s always enjoyable to hear a coach sound like he’s in love with his quarterback.”
Arizona currently has the No. 4 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, but it sounds like the team is so committed to Murray that they will not be considering selecting a quarterback and could even consider trading back.
“The Cardinals pick fourth in the draft, and some in the league believe they are open to trading back. Could we see four quarterbacks go with the top four picks? One general manager told me, ‘Absolutely!'” Russini wrote.
We’ll have to see what happens, but it’s pretty clear that Murray will remain with the Cardinals.
