Monti Ossenfort, the Arizona Cardinals’ first-year general manager, will be able to shape the roster the way he sees fit at the start of free agency on March 15.
And it starts with the quarterback position.
The Cardinals have their franchise quarterback in place in Kyler Murray, the 2019 No. 1 overall pick who signed a five-year $230.5 million contract last offseason. Their new head coach Jonathan Gannon told Pro Football Talk’s Peter King that “if Kyler Murray isn’t here, I don’t take this job.” That tells you pretty much everything you need to know on how highly Gannon thinks of him
Unfortunately for Murray and the team, he suffered a torn ACL on December 12 against the New England Patriots and the expectations as of now is that he will not be ready to play by week one.
