  Any Kyler Murray sightings in Minnesota today?
Posted by: Montana Tom - 03-12-2026, 02:19 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (4)

Been awfully quiet.
He musta brought his laptop to have all those Zoom meetings last night and today with the three to five teams that might be looking for a QB in 2027, that was claimed by his agent.

  It really has been a "get your house in order" FA

Some restructures
Some anticipated cuts
Some low-key signings/re-signings

The two big outstanding issues are QB and Greenard. 

Did I miss something?

  Report: Kyler Murray will visit the Vikings on Thursday
Posted by: Kentis - 03-11-2026, 08:27 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (33)

Quarterback Kyler Murray is currently a free agent. That may not last long.

John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM in Phoenix reports that Murray will visit the Vikings on Thursday.

From Gambadoro’s tweet: “A starting spot is a priority, and Minnesota does offer that and a deal could be done in the next 24 hours. But Murray and his camp are expected to explore several options as a backup in 2026 for teams that could need a starting QB in 2027 over the next 24 hours.”

One team that has interest in Murray as a backup for 2026, we hear, is the Rams. And with Matthew Stafford on a year-to-year plan, L.A. could need a starter by 2027.

Still, as immediate starting options go, the Vikings present the best opportunity. Unless the Steelers snap out of their Aaron Rodgers 2.0 fever dream.

Murray’s appeal, beyond his skills, comes from his availability at only $1.3 million for 2026. He should insist on a no-tag clause for 2027, so that he’ll have maximum leverage if he plays in 2026 like he did in the early years of his career.

Kyler Murray plans to talk via Zoom to teams that may have a QB need in 2027

Yes, quarterback Kyler Murray will visit the Vikings on Thursday — his agent, Erik Burkhardt, has confirmed that to NFL Media.

But here’s the interesting twist, via Tom Pelissero of NFL Media: Burkhardt told him that Murray plans to meet by Zoom on Wednesday night and Thursday with executives from three to five teams that potentially have a quarterback need in 2027.

Possibilities (as we see it) include the Jets, the Steelers, the Browns, the Falcons, and the Rams.

It gives Murray an opportunity to get a head start on free agency next year, which underscores the likelihood he’ll sign a one-year, $1.3 million deal for 2026.

That makes a no-tag clause critical. He needs to be able to hit the market next year, if for whatever reason he plays well and doesn’t get a solid offer to stick around with the Vikings, or whoever he signs with.

The Vikings continue to be the clear favorite. There’s really no one else. And, as of last season near the trade deadline, the Vikings were one of the teams in which Murray was interested.

  Anyone think JJ McCarthy...
Posted by: CFIAvike - 03-11-2026, 04:01 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (32)

Asks for his release if we sign Kyler?  I mean it would be a very clear message that we're moving on from him.  Say what you will about a "competition", but Kyler (if signed) will need every rep he can get with the first team to learn a new system, leaving none for McCarthy.  

Can't say I'd blame him

EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Wednesday announced a post-June 1 release of safety Harrison Smith.

The procedural move, which spreads a cap hit over two seasons, does not indicate where Smith is at in his decision of whether to return for a 15th season in Minnesota.

From the NFL Operations Manual, "Teams are allowed to release two players prior to June 1 (but on or after the first day of the League Year) while still using this designation and getting the same cap treatment. However, the cap savings created by a June 1 designation do not take effect until after June 1."

The 37-year-old passed the 200-game threshold in 2025 and has started 203 of 207 regular-season games since joining the Vikings as a first-round pick in 2012.

Smith has 39 career interceptions, the most among 2025 active NFL players, and 21.5 sacks.

  Kyler Murray and Kirk Cousins both officially released

Start your engines.

'Now that Kyler Murray’s release from the Cardinals is official, the Minnesota Vikings are expected to target him as a veteran addition to their QB room, sources tell The Athletic. He will be taking a visit to Minnesota and getting a physical.‘
