Cardinals Could Move On from Former MVP After Disappointing 2024
Tumultuous Season Ends with Cardinals Missing Playoffs
The Arizona Cardinals' 2024 season ended in disappointment, as the team finished 4-13 and missed the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year. The Cardinals' struggles were due in large part to a disappointing performance from former MVP quarterback Kyler Murray, who threw for just 2,350 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
With Murray struggling, the Cardinals' offense was one of the worst in the NFL, averaging just 17.5 points per game. The Cardinals also struggled on defense, allowing an average of 27.5 points per game. As a result of their poor performance, the Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury and general manager Steve Keim after the season.
Murray's Future in Arizona Uncertain
Cardinals May Trade Murray
With the Cardinals struggling and Murray underperforming, there is speculation that the team could trade the quarterback this offseason. Murray is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and the Cardinals could look to get something in return for him before he becomes a free agent in 2024.
There are several teams that could be interested in trading for Murray, including the Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers, and New Orleans Saints. All three teams are in need of a quarterback, and Murray could be a good fit for any of them. However, the Cardinals may be reluctant to trade Murray within the NFC, as he could come back to haunt them twice a year.
Murray Could Stay in Arizona
Despite the speculation, it is also possible that Murray could stay in Arizona. The Cardinals have a new head coach and general manager in place, and they may be willing to give Murray another chance to prove himself. If Murray can bounce back and have a strong season in 2024, he could solidify his future in Arizona.
Cardinals Face Tough Decisions
The Cardinals face a number of tough decisions this offseason, including what to do with Kyler Murray. The team is in need of a new head coach and general manager, and they may also need to find a new quarterback. The Cardinals have a lot of work to do this offseason, but they have the potential to be a competitive team in the future.
