NFL Trade Rumors: Top 3 Landing Spots For Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray landing spots could begin to be a talking point as the Arizona Cardinals weigh a separation before March guarantees kick in. 

Here's three teams that make sense as landing spots for the quarterback:

New York Jets

The New York Jets have stockpiled premium picks and cap flexibility, setting up a clean path to acquire a proven starter. 

With Garrett Wilson outside and a reinforced tackle duo, Murray would step into a supporting cast that can finally stretch the field and marry play action with designed keepers.

Moving on from Justin Fields becomes easier if a veteran upgrade is available.

Pittsburgh Steelers

If Aaron Rodgers indeed moves on after this season, the Pittsburgh Steelers need a ready-made answer to keep a playoff-caliber core on schedule. Arthur Smith’s run-first, play-action system suits Murray’s strengths, creating layups off wide-zone looks and boot action while unlocking second-reaction explosives to DK Metcalf and the tight ends. 

Pittsburgh won’t be drafting high enough for a blue-chip prospect, so proven production plus scheme fit makes a veteran swing the logical route. 

Carolina Panthers

Dave Canales has a track record of stabilizing quarterbacks, and the Carolina Panthers need a dynamic solution if Bryce Young’s progress stalls. 

Murray’s quick release and off-script juice would diversify a short-to-intermediate offense, forcing defenses to respect the deep third again. 

With moderate cap maneuvering and an openness at the quarterback position, Carolina could leverage a soft QB market to land a former Pro Bowler.
