Murray Move Watch: Vikings Eye a New QB, Crosby Holds the Raiders’ Course, and Early Bargains Emerge

TL;DR
Breer surveys the NFL free-agent landscape, noting that the Vikings’ move toward Kyler Murray would be a logical attempt to reframe their offense after McCarthy’s rocky year and that Murray’s fit under O’Connell could unlock their weapons; Crosby’s status with the Raiders appears stable for now, complicating potential trades; the piece flags bargain signings like Bills safety CJ Gardner-Johnson and Buccaneers defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad, and backs the Daniel Jones deal with the Colts at about $44 million per year, while touching on Kamara/Payton link chatter, Garoppolo’s Rams fit, and Solomon Thomas joining the Titans, plus a short list of late targets (Walker, Jennings, Durant, Paul).
