"I wanted nothing more than to be the one to end the 77 year drought for this organization. I am sorry I failed us. I wish this community and my brothers nothing but the best."
"The Cardinals have won two NFL championships, both in the pre-Super Bowl era (1925, 1947). Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner led the team to its lone Super Bowl appearance, a 27-23 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers following the 2008 season."
"Murray won the 2018 Heisman Trophy with Oklahoma and was drafted by Arizona at No. 1 overall the following spring. He was named the offensive rookie of the year in 2019 and made the Pro Bowl in each of the next two seasons."
Kyler Murray expressed regret upon learning the Arizona Cardinals are releasing him, stating he wanted to end the franchise's 77-year championship drought. The 2019 No. 1 overall draft pick won offensive rookie of the year and made two Pro Bowls but struggled with injuries throughout his tenure. Murray compiled a 38-48-1 record with Arizona. The Cardinals' only winning season and playoff appearance during his time came in 2021 when they went 11-6 before losing to the Rams. Prior to the 2022 season, Murray signed a $230.5-million, five-year contract extension with $160 million guaranteed. Recurring injuries limited him in three of his last four seasons.
