It is anyones guess on who Kyler Murray’s next team will be, but one thing we do know is that it won’t be with Arizona. The Cardinals' massive decline in win totals from that of a year prior deters them from taking on Murray’s $52 million cap hit in 2026.
There is plenty of need for a quarterback in 2026, with teams such as the New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, Cleveland Browns, and arguably, teams like the Minnesota Vikings and Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts are waiting on a decision from Daniel Jones, as he enters free agency. Everyone else named would definitely benefit from a new QB in 2026. However, when it comes to which team would take the biggest leap with a new QB, the answer is incredibly obvious.
In fact, Kalshi predicted this team as Kyler Murray’s landing spot, with a 10% odds increase taking place overnight.

Minnesota Vikings Become Betting Favorite To Land Kyler Murray
Yes, the Minnesota Vikings seem to be in the mix for Kyler Murray, as their odds of landing the 28-year-old quarterback took a massive leap on Tuesday.
By the looks of 2025, it is not a surprise that the Vikings are in the market for a new quarterback. But at the same time, are they really going to move off of J.J. McCarthy that quickly?
Selected at pick No. 10 in 2024, McCarthy missed the entirety of his rookie campaign recovering from a torn meniscus. In 2025, McCarthy started ten games, compiling a record of 6–4. However, the stats did not reflect that, as he posted 11 touchdown passes to 12 interceptions. A recipe that won’t succeed long-term
We don’t know how serious the Murray rumors are, but it is definitely something to keep an eye on and not shut down.
