The NFL career saga of quarterback Kyler Murray, the former No.1 overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019, took another devastating twist and turn on Tuesday, Nov.10.

It happened when the Minnesota Vikings acquired a new quarterback before the league’s trading deadline expired when they reached a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders for veteran Kirk Cousins.

The move would appear to signal the end of Murray’s brief time in Minnesota after he signed with the Vikings this past offseason for the veteran minimum salary of $1.3 million following his release from the Cardinals.

Murray started six games for the Vikings this season after winning the starting job over the recently traded J.J. McCarthy, but injuries and inconsistency have plagued him and coach Kevin O’Connell’s offense — despite Minnesota having one of the strongest defenses in the NFL.

Murray has been dealing with a strained hamstring and did not play during the Vikings’ 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, Nov. 9. Veteran Carson Wentz got the start and completed just 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards and no touchdowns. He was intercepted twice and the Vikings knew they had to look elsewhere for help.

Murray’s future appears uncertain and although he is 5-1 as Minnesota’s starter, he had produced just five touchdown passes against three interceptions.

This might have been his last chance to be a starter in the league.

Murray signed a five-year, $230.5 million contract extension with the Cardinals in 2023 , but led Arizona to only one winning season during his seven years with the club. He lost his starting job last season to Jacoby Brissett, who has since been traded to the Baltimore Ravens.
