The New York Jets desperately need to upgrade their quarterback position this offseason, and CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan believes they could acquire Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray for a second-round pick. Murray's days in Arizona appear to be coming to an end, and with the 2026 NFL Draft class not particularly strong, teams may be more inclined to target a veteran like Murray.
Why it matters
The Jets have plenty of draft capital over the next two years, including multiple first and second round picks, which they could use to add Murray, who has plenty of untapped potential left. This would set the Jets up to compete for a .500 record sooner rather than later, as they already have an offense built for a running quarterback.
The details
CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan recently linked the Jets to Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray on the trade block and projected the former No. 1 overall pick would be worth a second-round pick in a deal. With Kyler Murray's $19.7 million base salary for 2027 becoming fully guaranteed on March 15th, the potential trade could come together early in the offseason. The Jets have an offense built for a running quarterback, so they wouldn't need to adjust their playstyle too much if they were to acquire Murray.

The players
Kyler Murray
The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, who has played for the Arizona Cardinals since entering the league.

Joel Corry
A CBS Sports writer who noted that Murray's situation will need to come to a head before March 15th, 2026, as that's when his $19.7 million base salary for 2027 becomes fully guaranteed.
What they’re saying
“Kyler Murray's days in Arizona appear to be coming to an end. The former No. 1 overall pick was shut down with a foot injury this season, but then-head coach Jonathan Gannon acknowledged that Murray would've been benched in place of veteran Jacoby Brissett.”
— Tyler Sullivan, CBS Sports Writer
“With Gannon fired and a new regime incoming, it feels like now is the time for a full organizational reset, headlined by a Murray trade.”
— Tyler Sullivan, CBS Sports Writer
What’s next
The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.
The takeaway
This case highlights growing concerns in the community about repeat offenders released on bail, raising questions about bail reform, public safety on SF streets, and if any special laws to govern autonomous vehicles in residential and commercial areas.
