TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Kyler Murray era with the Arizona Cardinals is officially coming to a close.
After months of speculation about Murray's future with the team, Arizona has informed the 2019 No. 1 draft pick that they plan to release him next Wednesday, when the new league year begins, barring a trade, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
Murray was already guaranteed $36.8 million for 2026 and would have been guaranteed another $19.5 million for 2027 if he was still on the roster on the fifth day of the 2026 league year, which is March 16.
