Cardinals Trade QB Kyler Murray to NFC Rival in Major Deal Proposal

There are no signs that the Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Kyler Murray are looking to part ways as the 2024 NFL Draft approaches. However, the dynamics could shift dramatically with just one irresistible trade offer from any of the other 31 NFL teams. Such a proposal might even involve the top pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, potentially sparking a major trade.

After leading his team to their first playoff appearance in six years, Murray secured a five-year, $230.5 million extension in 2022, with a significant cap hit of $49.1 million starting this year, according to OvertheCap.com.

Amidst league-wide speculation, the New York Giants appear as a potential fit for Murray, especially since they might be considering a quarterback early in the draft.

Meanwhile, the Giants could see this as an opportunity to move away from Daniel Jones, who signed a hefty four-year, $160 million deal last season. A proposed deal could involve Jones, the No. 47 pick in this year's draft, and a 2025 third-rounder for Murray, allowing Giants coach Brian Daboll to upgrade his offense with Murray's dynamic play.


If the trade goes through, the Cardinals might then focus on drafting a top quarterback prospect, freeing them from Jones's contract with minimal financial repercussions and setting the stage for a new quarterback era in Arizona.
