Vikings Land QB Kyler Murray: PFF Calls it a "Good" Deal
13 Mar
Summary
- Vikings signed quarterback Kyler Murray to a team-friendly deal.
- PFF graded the contract as "Good" due to Murray's low $1.3 million cost.
- Murray's arrival creates a competition for the starting quarterback role.
The Minnesota Vikings have acquired quarterback Kyler Murray, a move generating significant buzz around the league. PFF has given the contract a "Good" grade, primarily due to its affordability at just $1.3 million.
Despite a challenging 2025 season where Murray played only five games, PFF views Minnesota as an ideal landing spot for him. While his recent PFF passing grade has been 74.3, with 48 big-time throws against 43 turnover-worthy plays over the last three years, he remains a player with high potential.
Murray's presence is expected to challenge J.J. McCarthy for the starting quarterback position. The Vikings are in a favorable situation: either Murray proves himself and secures the starting role, or McCarthy elevates his game and wins the job, securing the team's future.
Social media indicates a strong perception that the starting role is Murray's to lose. This signing addresses concerns after the departure of Sam Darnold, with many believing Murray could become the Vikings' long-term quarterback if he shows even moderate success.
