The Arizona Cardinals are likely to part ways with quarterback Kyler Murray this offseason, and prediction market Kalshi is showing active trading on Murray's next destination.
Multiple NFL Network insiders have confirmed that Arizona is expected to move on from Murray after seven seasons, following his injury-shortened 2025 campaign, in which he made just five starts before going on injured reserve. The former No. 1 overall pick threw for only 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions before suffering a foot injury in Week 5, capping a disappointing tenure that saw him go 38-48-1 as a starter with just one winning season.
If you want to get in on the action and try to predict Kyler Murray's next team, Kalshi offers trading on a variety of markets. Kalshi is offered in most states and allows users to make predictions across several unique markets, including sports, politics, and entertainment.
Kyler Murray Next Team Odds
The challenge for Arizona lies in Murray's massive contract, which carries a $52 million cap hit and includes $37.5 million that becomes guaranteed for 2027 if he remains on the roster past March 15. ESPN's Benjamin Solak projects the Cardinals would receive minimal compensation in a trade, estimating an "almost nominal" return value of just a Day 3 draft pick given the contract's burden.
The New York Jets have emerged as a potential landing spot, with ESPN reporting that the team has "plenty of money" to absorb Murray's deal after their disastrous 3-14 season with Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor struggling at quarterback. Jets GM Darren Mougey, who witnessed the Russell Wilson contract situation in Denver, understands both the risks and potential rewards of acquiring a quarterback in need of a fresh start.
Murray's situation mirrors that of other quarterbacks potentially on the move, with Miami's Tua Tagovailoa also reportedly available.
What is Kalshi
Different than a traditional sportsbook and available in most states, Kalshi allows users to make predictions across several unique markets, including sports, entertainment, elections, and even weather.
Kalshi operates on a contract-based system where users buy "contracts" (priced between 1-99 cents) based on whether they believe a specific event will happen. The price of each contract fluctuates in real time based on market sentiment and like the stock market, traders can sell positions early to lock in profits (or minimize losses).
