Overview
- Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Murray will not return in 2025 after additional evaluations showed insufficient progress.
- Murray injured his foot in Week 5 against the Titans and was placed on injured reserve in early November after missing three games.
- Jacoby Brissett remains the starter in Murray’s absence and has performed well despite the team’s struggles.
- Gannon declined to commit to Murray as Arizona’s quarterback for 2026, and prior reporting has suggested a potential separation is possible.
- Contract mechanics complicate any move: an outright release would carry a cap charge over $55 million and lock in $36.7 million for 2026, while a trade would trigger 2027 guarantees, including a $19.5 million base salary, unless reworked.
