Kyler Murray’s time in Arizona is coming to an end.

Coming off another frustrating season in The Desert, Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals appear to be headed for a split.

A foot injury limited Kyler Murray to five games in 2025. Additionally, the Arizona offense looked a lot better with career journeyman Jacoby Brissett behind center. Consider all the factors, and there’s no reason for Arizona and Murray to run it back in 2026.

It has been reported that Murray could be had via trade for a second-round pick. As inconsistent as he’s been in Arizona, that could be a bargain price for a quarterback-needy team.

According to Phil Mackey of SKOR North, the No. 1 pick of the 2019 NFL Draft is intrigued by the Minnesota Vikings.

“Kyler Murray remains a name that a) might be available via trade or just get released,” Mackey said. “I have heard that he would be interested in playing for the Vikings.”

The Vikings are expected to bring in a veteran quarterback to challenge JJ McCarthy after a frustrating 2025 season. It was recently reported that a reunion with Kirk Cousins could be a possibility, as the Atlanta Falcons are expected to release him.

Other Teams That Could Target Kyler Murray

The Vikings make sense for Murray if they can make the dollars work. But other than Minnesota, there are plenty of other QB-needy teams that should explore a potential trade for the 28-year-old.

If Aaron Rodgers retires, the Pittsburgh Steelers may want to consider Murray as a reclamation project. If the Miami Dolphins move on from Tua Tagovailoa, they should definitely explore Murray.

The New York Jets and Cleveland Browns also make sense as landing spots for Murray. If the Indianapolis Colts are unable to retain pending free agent Daniel Jones (for whatever reason), they could explore Murray as a fallback option.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
