Late Friday night, an AFC general manager was offering his thoughts on potential landing spots for newly released wideout DeAndre Hopkins when he asked a question that could ultimately reshape the Arizona Cardinals franchise.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins during an NFL football game against the Buffalo Bills, Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020, in Glendale, Ariz. Late Friday night, an AFC general manager was offering his thoughts on“What do you think they do with [Kyler] Murray?”
Getting back to the whole idea of logical paths, it's worth focusing on the timing of Hopkins' release and what it means for Arizona's options moving forward. First and foremost, it takes another talented player off the field and pushes the 2023 season even further into rebuild territory. The Cardinals are already facing at least some portion of the schedule without their star quarterback, although it remains to be seen whether it's just a few games or half a season .
That financial decision is what drove the AFC general manager’s question on Friday night, largely because it opens up a deeper pool of options with Murray’s future. Armed with two first-round picks in the 2024 draft and facing a tough season ahead with Murray’s ACL recovery, it’s conceivable that Arizona will either be in position to draft Williams or Maye, or have the draft ammunition to move into that spot.
Those numbers seem to make a Murray move highly unlikely, but we’ve seen teams like the Los Angeles Rams , Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers all eat cap hits after big contract extensions. For the Rams and Eagles, the moves ultimately helped turn them into Super Bowl contenders. It’s not out of question that Arizona sees the drafting of Williams or Maye in the same light next offseason.
