Justin Herbert-Patrick Mahomes winner? Lions or Ravens?            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Based on the early returns, so far so good. However, don&#8217;t expect a quick move back to the active roster for Murray.<\/p>\n<p>Sources say Murray&#8217;s return is expected to take multiple weeks, with the most likely outcome that he practices for three weeks then plays on Nov. 12 against the Falcons. There is also a chance he is able to return on Nov. 5 against the Browns if all goes perfectly well on the field and off it.<\/p>\n<p>The team&#8217;s only charge is to put him out there when he&#8217;s physically and mentally ready to play, and there is no rush. As QB coach Israel Woolfork told reporters, &#8220;We&#8217;re just worried about him getting back in the flow of things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Murray tore his ACL on Dec. 12, ending his 2022 season, but he&#8217;s been active with the new coaching staff, taking part in all meetings. The early returns have been very positive, but given the Cardinals&#8217; 1-5 record, and given that Murray now has a GM in Monti Ossenfort and head coach in Jonathan Gannon, who inherited him, there are evaluations to be made. It&#8217;s fair to say all options are on the table for the 2024 offseason.<\/p>\n<p>If Arizona has a top pick, they need to know what they have in Murray in their system with their coaches in order to properly evaluate whether to take a top QB and trade Murray. On his original $230.5 million contract extension that came before 2022, Murray has five years and roughly $182 million left.<\/p>\n<p>A very palatable contract with a signing bonus already paid.<\/p>\n<p>Trading a healthy Murray to the highest bidder would, at least, be something to consider for an organization that has collected draft picks and appears to be midway through a rebuild. That said, if Murray performs well and all parties want him to be the future long-term QB of the Cardinals like he is in the present, then Ossenfort&#8217;s job is actually easier &#8212; he doesn&#8217;t need to draft a new QB.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of time for all of that to play out. For now, the focus is simply on getting Murray in the right place to play.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/cardinals-plan-to-take-their-time-with-qb-kyler-murray-evaluation-for-the-future\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sign up for NFL+ to watch The Insiders every Monday-Friday at noon ET for more exclusive reports.
