Fresh Starts Ahead for Murray and Tagovailoa in 2026 NFL Shuffle
The Cardinals and Dolphins are likely to release Murray and Tagovailoa due to massive contract guarantees and limited trade value, with a potential last‑minute trade unlikely to offset the costs. Murray could draw interest from a handful of teams on a cheap, short‑term deal (Browns, Dolphins among possibilities), while Tagovailoa is more likely to land as a low‑cost backup or bridge option with teams like the Falcons or Rams. A quarterback‑for‑quarterback swap is unlikely; the probable path is clean breaks with the teams absorbing most of the remaining guarantees.
