Some of the questions are —- will Kyler play this season? —- At what point? —- How well will he be able he play in the new system? —- And what happens if he doesn’t play at all this year?

A Way to Justify A Trade:
If the team is in a position to draft Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, and by trading Kyler Murray the team has to eat $81M in dead cap money, they could spread the cap hit out over three years and with a potential star QB like Williams or Maye on a rookie contract, then they could be allocating the following money to the team’s QB1.
- 2024: $27M + $7M = $34M
- 2025: $27M + $8.5M = $35.5M
- 2026: $27M + $10.5M = $37.5M
