The only thing ive heard, confirms what i thought might happen. Murray is in no rush to sign with any team. He wants to tour the league at his leisure. See which teams are interested in 1 year. What if any teams are interested in long term...

Why would he do anything else if his going to get vet minimum from somebody like the vikings.

Its one thing when the qb is past his prime. See Russ Wilson. Geno Smith etc. or a guy that has built a questionable resume- Tua.

Kyler isnt yet 29. Many out there believe, his talent is untapped to date via being hitched to the dysfunctional Cardinals. His 1st season, that rookie year when the cardinal was as yet absorbed by the player. Kyler was offensive ROY. Its been a steady decline for him since with zero organizational continuity in place to grow on his impressive debut season.

Whether thats true or false. What matters is- Kyler believes his best lay in front of him. Can anybody blame him for not being in a rush to sign somewhere. A place like minnesota ie, where I have extreme doubts of my own. That KOC will create the right offense that takes advantage of what kyler does best. Hes goijg to keep $36m cardinal cast off dollars if he starts or rides pine. Another $70k weekly from his new team- but only once the season starts in earnest.

On one hand. Man do I get it.
On the other hand. If he wants to regain control of his reputation. He could do so this season. Signing with the team that wants him to be the best version of kyler. Andvthen bust ass delivering his best effort. The worst thing he could do is not check into the facts. Sign on with a high rep team only to disvover hes a square peg beingbforced into a scheme thatbonly has round holes. Wind up with a marginal season and a team suggesting it was kylers fault as he walks away into 2027 free agency. A year older and another demerit on his record.

Again, im spitballing here. I have no clue who is interested in the guy and how anyone interested is thinking of using the guy.
Personally, if im Kyler. I call the chiefs. I beg them to let me be pat mahomes backup for 2026. Mahomes game isnt that different from kylers. Andy Reid would match the offense to kyler within a few practices. Itd be up to kyler to study it up & get proficient.
The other team id try is indy. Shane Steichen too would match the parts of the offense that fit kyler. Begin the off season there.

Sure, in minnesota. Kyler likely get the opportunity to start 17 games. But its going to be kyler adjusting to the scheme. Not a coach matching the scheme to kyler...

I know which path id take if i were kyler.
A $75k game check cashes the same in minnesota, indiana or missouri.

So? The real value is in- who showcases my abilities? Launches me towards another $40m yearly multi year contract.
Its going to be a stretch that mahomes/ danny jones are 100% for week 1. Both the colts & chiefs- i'd think. Would be much interested in a 3 or 4 week kyler murray package to begin the season.

Again. If I remove my Viking goggles from the decision process. I cant give you a single reason his playing for the vikings benefits kyler, vs other options, including the Todd Monkin Browns.

If the vikings want kyler, i do think they'll have to add sugar to the deal. The $19.5m due league day5, is the poison pill that prevents a trade like the one between jets/ raiders for Geno.

I think? In the end. The vikings once again go on for a long time this off season with qb dysfunction/ uncertainty. JJ & Brosmer and a blind dart that lands on?

1st draft choice 2027🤞
