According to some close to the situation, the Cardinals are telling people privately that Murray is more than likely not expected to play this year.
It’s been quite the change of direction for Murray after signing his five-year, $230.5 million extension in July 2022 — which at the time was more than what Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, and Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers all earned this offseason.

This situation has become a complete disaster for the Cardinals. They dumped big money into a quarterback who suffered a serious injury and they have a lack talent to surround him when he is healthy. If they are the worst in the league and get the first-overall pick they will have a really tough decision. They will either have to draft Caleb Williams and move off Murray or trade the pick and stick with Murray.
