Overview
- Minnesota announced the signing one day after Arizona released Murray, and the quarterback confirmed it with a “Skol” post in Vikings gear.
- The contract is for the veteran minimum of about $1.3 million while the Cardinals remain responsible for roughly $36.8 million in 2026 guarantees.
- The deal includes a no-tag clause, giving Murray unrestricted access to free agency next offseason unless an extension is reached.
- Head coach Kevin O’Connell declined to name a starter, setting up an offseason competition between Murray and 2024 first-rounder J. J. McCarthy.
- Murray played five games in 2025 before a foot injury ended his season; the 2019 Offensive Rookie of the Year owns two Pro Bowls and career totals of 20,460 passing yards and 3,193 rushing yards.
