"The 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowler has his shortcomings. His dedication to his craft has often been questioned, his play has been significantly inconsistent, and injuries have been a problem. But at the end of the day, he is a talent that can be inserted under center immediately, and it makes the Jets' punchless offense significantly better than it was with Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, or Brady Cook running the offense."
"In his last full season, 2024, Murray completed 68.8% of his passes for 3,851 yards, 26 total touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while going 8-9 in 17 games. The Jets have won eight games over the last two seasons combined."
"Murray himself has reportedly said he would prefer to be released so he can choose his next destination, and, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it is being seriously considered. The Jets would have plenty of competition, including from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings."
The New York Jets face quarterback uncertainty with the No. 2 pick in a weak quarterback draft class and limited free-agent options. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray may become available through trade or release, offering the Jets an immediate solution. The 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowler completed 68.8% of passes for 3,851 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 2024. While Murray has faced questions about dedication, consistency, and injuries, he would significantly improve the Jets' offense compared to recent starters. His substantial contract carries $52.6 million in 2026 and $43.5 million in 2027 cap hits. Murray reportedly prefers release to choose his destination, with the Steelers and Vikings also interested.
