INDIANAPOLIS — AFTER Arizona Cardinals General manager Monty Ossenfort said he has talked to the quarterback kyler murray When asked to discuss how last season unfolded, a source told ESPN that the two haven’t spoken since the season ended.
When asked at the NFL Combine on Tuesday if he sat down with Murray to talk about last season and what Murray wants in the future, Osenfort answered in the affirmative.
“Yeah, I’ve always had good conversations with Kyler,” Ossenfort said. “And I would say [last season] It wasn’t in line with what Kyler wanted. It didn’t depend on what any of us wanted as a whole season.
“And, so, when you have the kind of year we had, there’s a lot of room for improvement, and so we’ve got to find a way to do that, not just at that position, at all positions, but that’s what we’re all focused on, getting better and moving forward.”
However, a source denied Ossenfort’s confirmation.
Murray played only five games last season after suffering a foot injury in week five tennessee titans. He was placed on injured reserve in early November, and in early December, when Murray was eligible to return from IR, then-coach Jonathan Gannon announced that Murray would not play the rest of the season.
Following Murray’s injuries, questions began to arise over his future with the organization.
The Cardinals have about three weeks left to decide whether Murray will be their quarterback in 2026. If Murray is on the active roster on the fifth day of the league year, he will receive a $19.5 million guaranteed roster bonus for 2027.
Ossenfort said Tuesday that conversations about Murray’s future occur “daily.”
Ossenfort also reiterated that “all options are on the table for us” with Murray, a sentiment he initially expressed during the Cardinals’ season-ending news conference the day after the regular season in January. Ossenfort pointed out that Murray and fellow quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett And kedon slovis All are under contract through 2026.
“We will look at every avenue of improvement and we will continue our process,” Ossenfort said Tuesday.
