Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray appears to have reached a point where he is uncertain about his future on the team. However, he is taking a serious approach to his offense. He didn’t hesitate to call out the offense after the disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Before the game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday (October 5), the QB didn’t hold back on his words during the press conference. “It’s frustrating, obviously.” “You know you want to be more explosive. I think, in turn, that comes down to execution. When the plays are there, we’ve got to make them,” he shared, recalling the struggles from the last game. The statement might be blunt but carries a strong message to the offense that needs to execute better in the games.

The Cardinals saw Murray and the offense failing to break through for over three quarters. After their final three drives, the Cardinals had racked up 138 total yards, 10 first downs, and 17 points. “Pissed off. Left a bad taste in my mouth,” Murray added.

Down 20-6 late in the fourth, they finally found life, storming back to even things up at 20-20 with just 28 seconds left. But the celebration was short-lived, as Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold led the Seahawks to a 20-23 win.

Arizona generated just 115 total yards, eight first downs, and 3 points across its first eight possessions in a dismal offensive showing. The unit’s struggles were compounded by Kyler Murray throwing two interceptions during that stretch.

Later, in the press conference, he said, “We’ve got to make more plays.” “We’ve got to show up, be ready to go. It’s like s— is loading, you know what I mean, and it’s taking too long. Obviously, the resilience of the team, you love to see it, and you feel like you give yourself the chance to win the game at the end, but it’s just too late,” Murray shared.

The frustration is understandable considering this was the second loss for Murray and the Cardinals after their 16-15 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.’s shaky start and strong finish also gained traction. Early on, the young receiver struggled with drops, drawing boos from fans at halftime.

The connection between Harrison and the QB also seemed to be missing. But Murray backed his receiver publicly after the game. “He needs me, I need him,” Murray declared. “This is a team sport, four-quarter game, and I understand he’s not coming out of the game. I don’t want him to come out of the game. So, we’ve got to get this going.”

Back in the game, Harrison perhaps knew this mindset of his teammates. He bounced back in the second half, with five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. Not just Murray, but coach Jonathan Gannon also praised his efforts to keep fighting despite the hurdles in the presser.

However, the team’s struggles also saw many raise questions about Murray.

Kyler Murray joked about his position with the Cardinals

There have been rumors that the Cardinals might look to trade the QB before the 2027 season. But is it coming sooner than that? While that remains uncertain, the noise on a potential trade has certainly grown louder. And after the two back-to-back losses, Murray’s candid comment on his position has raised more eyebrows.

When asked about the Cardinals’ new headquarters and state-of-the-art practice facility in Phoenix, the QB said, “It was beautiful, beautiful.” But he quickly added, “I don’t know when it’s coming out, but hope I’m here to see it.” The 250,000 square-foot center is expected to be completed in 2028 for the team to shift from their present Dignity Health Training Center in Tempe.

While Murray’s comment might have been a joke, it wasn’t likely a good one if true.

This is Murray’s seventh season with the Cardinals, yet the team has struggled to find genuine success during his tenure. In that time, they’ve managed just one winning record and a single playoff trip. Injuries have played a part, with him missing multiple games, but he also hasn’t fully lived up to the expectations of being a No. 1 pick.

While Murray may be deflecting concerns with humor for now, his long-term future in Arizona remains genuinely uncertain. The combination of inconsistent performance, injury history, and the Cardinals’ ongoing struggles creates legitimate questions about whether the franchise views him as their quarterback solution beyond his current contract.

Now, he’s under contract through 2028, so he could still be around when the new facility opens, but if progress doesn’t come soon, the Cardinals may consider a change.
