Vikings land Kyler Murray on a prove-it, one-year deal after Cardinals release

Kyler Murray, released by the Arizona Cardinals, signed a one-year league-minimum contract with the Minnesota Vikings that includes a no-tag clause and is guaranteed $36.8 million by Arizona this season. The 28-year-old passer will vie for Minnesota’s QB1 job with rookie J.J. McCarthy as he seeks a career rebound after injuries and a down year, with the Vikings hoping to unlock his upside in 2026.
