The Minnesota Vikings Super Bowl odds moved from 50-1 to 44-1 on news of their signing Kyler Murray.
Minnesota will pay $1.3 million of Murray's $36.8 million salary for 2026. The Arizona Cadinals will pay the remainder as part of their decision to release him Wednesday. His new deal prohibits the Vikings from using a franchise or transition tag on him next offseason, sources told ESPN, giving him a guaranteed path to free agency if he wants it.
Murray will be surrounded by bona fide talent including coach and play-caller Kevin O'Connell, tight end T.J. Hockenson and receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
"I cannot wait," Murray said Thursday evening. "I cannot wait to touch that field and be a Minnesota Viking."
He was 38-48-1 with the Cardinals while injuries - including a torn ACL at the end of 2022 -- defined his last five years with the team. In 2025, he played in just the first five games before suffering a foot injury that caused him to miss the rest of the season.
Murray has thrown for 121 touchdowns and 60 interceptions in seven seasons. He also has 32 rushing touchdowns.
