But football was a distraction.”</p><p>And this comes even though Murray <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/fantasy-sports/marvin-harrison-jrs-fantasy-football-outlook-for-2025-nfl-season">has a potential elite weapon</a> on the outside in Marvin Harrison Jr.</p><h2><b>Cardinals QB Kyler Murray still trying to find his NFL way</b></h2><p>Lovullo said he almost got Murray to take batting practice a few years ago.</p><p>“But he was under contract,” Lovullo said. “He said contractually I can’t do it because the Oakland A’s own my rights.”</p><p>Unfortunately for Murray, baseball <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6514160/2025/08/11/nfl-qb-rankings-tiers-2025-jackson-daniels/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=twhq&amp;source=twitterhq" rel="noopener">may have been</a> the right path.

He does not do that.”</p><p>A different defensive coach views him as a leg quarterback.</p><p>“Creates the mismatch with his legs, not his arm,” this coach said. “He’s Tier 3 with a good-looking baseball slide after his fourth scramble in a two-minute drill.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Cardinals have shown much promise with Murray under center, but the expectations have not been completely met, as they could be. After two head coaches, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/arizona-cardinals-player-under-most-pressure-2025-nfl-season-kyler-murray" rel="noopener">the clock is ticking</a> on what Murray can do under center for Arizona.</p><p>ESPN published a bold prediction piece for every team in the NFL and their rankings out of 32. With everything surrounding the Cardinals, they came in at 17. ESPN NFL Analyst Seth Walder made a bold prediction related to the Cardinals by saying that before the 2027 season, the Cardinals will trade Kyler Murray, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45920966/2025-nfl-future-power-rankings-projections-32-teams-roster-coaching-quarterback#ARI" rel="noopener">who will have two seasons left on his current deal</a>.</p><p>Walder elaborated more on his prediction: “The Cardinals will trade quarterback Kyler Murray before the 2027 season. After two seasons in which they are competitive but not threatening true contention, they will decide to deal Murray — who will have two non-guaranteed years left on his deal at that point — rather than extend him again. Arizona will recoup real draft capital in the deal from a team that will instantly upgrade at the most critical position.”</p><p>It’s not all bad news for the Cardinals, especially given the roster’s look coming into the 2025 season. Arizona has invested heavily in draft picks under Monti Ossenfort and Jonathan Gannon. That influx of young talent has benefitted Arizona, and they are trying to rework both sides of the ball with their draft picks.</p><p>The offense around Murray could be one of the better units in the NFL. Marvin Harrison Jr., last year’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/meet-marvin-harrison-jr-cardinals-no-4-pick-2024-nfl-draft" rel="noopener">first-round draft pick</a>, has another year to acclimate to this offense and should be better as Murray’s top target. Michael Wilson, Zay Jones, and Trey McBride also make up a solid receiving corps, especially with McBride emerging as one of the best tight ends in the NFL. The offensive line should also be better.</p><p>The biggest key for this year and what will determine whether the Cardinals can win with Murray under center is the help around him on the other side of the ball. This defense went through a makeover in the offseason, and Jonathan Gannon is a defensive guru. Josh Sweat was a big signing to help up front, and Calais Campbell returned to the Cardinals. Then, Zaven Collins rounds out a front seven that should be much better. Max Melton, Budda Baker, Garrett Williams, and Will Johnson also highlight a great secondary.</p><p>The Arizona Cardinals are primed to be much better, but they need to execute better across the board, and that starts with Kyler Murray on offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Cardinals rumors: When ESPN predicts Kyler Murray will be traded

After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-arizona-ol-will-hernandez-back-1-year-deal-torn-acl">re-signing with the team, Will Hernandez</a> sent his own birthday message to his quarterback, with whom he is delighted to remain.</p><p>Shortly after the news of his new contract broke, Hernandez <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DNEIW4Tyy0_/?hl=en" rel="noopener">shared his reaction</a> on Instagram. The 29-year-old guard expressed excitement about “running it back” with Murray in 2025 as he wished his friend a happy 28th birthday.</p><p>“[Kyler Murray] let’s run it back?” Hernandez wrote. “Just missing the bow but I’m here! Happy birthday mijo! Let’s get it this season.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">From Hernandez 👇🏼 <a href="https://t.co/vCNTPvKbjT">pic.twitter.com/vCNTPvKbjT</a></p><p>— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1953530387696668910?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Hernandez signed with the Cardinals in 2022 after beginning his career with the New York Giants. He has started all 30 of his games with Arizona, including the first five of 2024, before suffering a torn ACL. Hernandez had a career year in 2023 and was on track for another one prior to the injury.</p><p>The injury kept Hernandez on the market longer than he would have hoped. Yet, after recently getting cleared, he officially returns to the team on a one-year deal. Whether or not he returns to the starting lineup remains to be seen.</p><h2><b>Kyler Murray, Will Hernandez lead Cardinals’ 2025 offense</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Will-Hernandez.jpg"><figcaption>Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Once he returns to the practice field, Hernandez will compete with Evan Brown, Isaiah Adams and Hayden Conner for a place in the starting lineup. Brown, Hernandez and Adams all started a handful of games in 2024, with Brown’s 97.6 percent snap share leading the way.</p><p>By maintaining consistency up front, the Cardinals expect improvement in 2025. Arizona went 8-9 in its second season under Jonathan Gannon, a four-game improvement from the team’s previous two seasons. While encouraging, they still have just one playoff appearance in the last nine years.</p><p>Overall, the Cardinals’ entire offense returns in 2025. They were only a mediocre group in 2024, but several key pieces, namely <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cardinals-news-marvin-harrison-jr-change-body-transformation">2024 first-round pick Marvin Harrison Jr.</a>, will be relied on to make substantial improvements. With the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers all making at least one seismic change in the offseason, Arizona has as good a chance as any team to return to the playoffs.</p><p>Once the season begins, the experienced Cardinals team will have a solid chance to get off to a strong start. They do not face a 2024 playoff team until Week 7, when they host the Green Bay Packers. Arizona might not be favored to win each of its first six contests, but it should enter its Week 8 bye with a winning record.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If he can put up better numbers next season and surpass the 4,000-yard mark while throwing for closer to 30 touchdown passes, then the Cardinals’ offense should be a powerhouse next season.</p><p>Arizona is set to begin the new football year with a Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. EST on Sunday, September 7, with the game taking place in New Orleans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
