The Cardinals, with new head coach Mike LaFleur, would like to trade Murray.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">This is not unexpected. He did not play after Week 5, when he injured his foot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He is due more than $22.8 million in salary and has a $17 million roster bonus due. His $19.5 million salary for 2027 becomes guaranteed if he is on a roster on March 15.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">For a team taking him on, it would basically be a two-year commitment for $75.5 million, which isn&#8217;t awful for a player a team sees as a starting quarterback. However, coming off the injury, it would mean more than just taking a flyer on him.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:4|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">LaFleur has had contact with Murray, though he would not commit to whether he would be on the team moving forward.
