Cardinals Eye Familiar Face for QB Room
1 Mar
Summary
- Cardinals exploring quarterback options beyond Murray.
- Garoppolo reunites with coach LaFleur for potential low cost.
- Arizona possesses over $30 million in cap space.

The Arizona Cardinals are in the market for quarterback solutions as the 2026 offseason unfolds. With Jacoby Brissett under contract and a move away from Kyler Murray anticipated soon, the team is exploring various avenues to fill the position. One notable name emerging is Jimmy Garoppolo, who shares a history with new Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur. Their previous collaborations span four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and two seasons with the Los Angeles Rams.
Garoppolo, a two-time Super Bowl champion, is projected to have a market value of just over $2 million per season, making him a potentially inexpensive addition. This reunion could provide stability at the quarterback position, especially as LaFleur is expected to implement a hybrid offensive scheme influenced by Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay. The Cardinals currently have more than $30 million in salary cap space, offering flexibility for such acquisitions, although the financial implications of Murray's departure remain a factor.
