Cardinals Weigh Gannon’s Future as Source Signals Patience From Ownership

Financial obligations plus Kyler Murray’s contract reduce Arizona’s appetite for a coaching reset.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has been cited in reports saying Jonathan Gannon has come up as a firing candidate, with no internal decision communicated.
  • A league source told CBS Sports, per Bleacher Report, that owner Michael Bidwill is unlikely to pay out years on Gannon’s five-year deal to make a change now.
  • Arizona is 3-7 after a five-game slide that included heavy defeats to the Seahawks (44-22) and 49ers (41-22).
  • Kyler Murray is on injured reserve with a foot injury after five starts (962 passing yards, 68.3% completions), and Jacoby Brissett has been the steadier performer this season.
  • Murray’s large guarantees through 2028 pose major cap hurdles for any split, making a quarterback move unlikely as speculation focuses on coaching.
