00:00with the new league year officially being official uh the cardinals have uh have just sent out there
00:06the official official uh with the start of the new league year and transactions now final we want to
00:12thank kyler for everything he's done for the organization over the last seven years we're
00:16extremely grateful for his contributions both on the field and off and we wish him nothing but the
00:20absolute best moving forward that's from monty osinfort so yeah kyler murray officially released
00:25by the arizona cardinals and then palisero being like if it is indeed in minnesota he'll compete
00:29with jj mccarthy for the starting job he is one of these people that is also just putting out there
00:33the idea that it will be more likely than not minnesota another report came out too it said
00:39stefanski had a lot of interest i guess and then kevin o'connell obviously showing a lot of interest
00:42too and so it's interesting how uh the theme of it being the vikings for him continues on but we're
00:48not 100 sure yeah so rapaport also tweeting out the vikings plan to make a push for kyler murray and
00:52are the favorite to land the former number one pick sources tell him and tom palisero uh finally
00:57released now by arizona murray will take his time and wants to hear directly from other teams but
01:02minnesota is the team to beat adam shefter saying in words of one source i'd be shocked if he's not
01:07a viking how much of this i did that my only pushback on all of this is it just feels
01:11like
01:11the media has his you know this has been clandestine from the media from the start and now it's just
01:18they
01:19haven't heard anything to the contrary there's a part of this where it feels like this is as much of
01:23a
01:23media creation as it is a kyler murray creation well i tell you what it would be very interesting
01:27now if it's not the vikings you'd have that moment where you'd look down and be like i'm what it's
01:32not the vikings and that's that's a payoff in and of itself i i honestly think if you go to
01:36the if
01:36you're the browns i think you can i think you can trump minnesota in two ways and i know this
01:41is
01:41going to be a tough sell because browns fans are down on the browns and people around the nfl are
01:45down
01:45on the browns your two ways are we'll actually build an offense around you instead of forcing you to fit
01:50into a pre-existing offense and the second thing is who do you think you have a better chance of
01:56beating out shador sanders or or jj mccarthy the biggest selling point i think that the browns
02:00would have is that i wouldn't even phrase it as a competition yeah you know it's like if you come
02:04if you come to cleveland that's this is your job you're the week one starter and that's it if you
02:07go to minnesota you are as you described you're competing with jj mccarthy now i i told you yesterday
02:12and i stand by it i still think because of justin jefferson jordan adderson koc i just it's a better
02:17setup for him and i think that team is set up to win 10 plus games but you know if
02:22you want the
02:22guarantee i don't i don't advise against that either i do think it's gonna be interesting this
02:26out to see how long kyler takes to make his decision because i i don't get the sense that
02:32minnesota should be so impatient here that they after three days they just rush to sign kirk cousins
02:38i think they can sign kirk at any time they want it's clear it looks like you know not only
02:43is kyler
02:44is minnesota the favorite for kyler it looks like kyler's the favorite for minnesota i mean am i
02:48wrong for expecting this to happen pretty soon um i hope not next 24 hours pretty soon listen this is
02:54a pivotal point in kyler's career so i understand if he just wants to get the show on the road
02:58as
02:58quickly as humanly possible i would i would talk to every team he can i would and i would just
03:03look
03:04at and and listen i'm biased because i would make sure the browns call about this i think i would
03:08talk to the steelers even though it looks like aaron rogers is probably going back there though
03:12we don't have that officially reported like i i i would i think it's such a crucial point in
03:18kyler's career that you can go for all the right reasons to the wrong situation and a year from now
03:25you're going to be somebody's backup whereas if you really think about it really make a prudent
03:30decision i i just because everybody in the nfl thinks minnesota's the right spot i hope kyler's
03:36smart enough and i hope his agents are smart enough to understand like let's kind of hear everybody
03:40out here because you are the bell of the ball and you're not going to get this twice if you
03:43if you
03:44go somewhere and struggle so one thing i would i i think would help expedite this is the idea that
03:48because of this year it's just different you get those one hour zoom calls with players and i know
03:52if i was kyler i want more than a one hour zoom call and that's where i think maybe the
03:55next 24 hours
03:56fits in but i think you'd have a good idea of who is already interested who isn't interested in what
04:00he can and cannot do yeah and i would like to know it gets interesting like the all the reporting
04:05around this from the cleveland side has been oh i'm sure the browns are interested but we don't have
04:09anything definitive no we don't yeah we don't um it wouldn't surprise me if the browns are much
04:14more interested than they've let on and whether it's the fact that kyler's the favorite to sign
04:19in minnesota or or maybe it's just the fact that they don't want to upset the apple cart with
04:23shador and or dashawn until you have that other quarterback in the room um i think this is the
04:29thing you take a big swing at i do and a big swing is relative because the 2026 money is
04:34nil
04:35but i like i think kyler is one of maybe two or three guys that you can get and i
04:41i'll be honest
04:42with you he might actually be the only guy that i would just sign and say you're the starter and
04:46i
04:47think would give you a chance i think you could be interesting i don't does it guarantee you anything
04:51no it's the nfl but i've heard people talk about this and and i'll put ken's name on it because
04:56i think
04:56he's been pretty out there about well you know i don't want to go eight wins yeah but the difference
05:01between eight wins and ten wins is pretty nil in the nfl i also don't know that his ceiling is
05:07eight wins by the way exactly i know obviously he's made it to one playoff game in his career so
05:11if
05:12you want to point to that direction and say this is the best he can do okay fine but he's
05:15never had
05:15a defense anywhere close to this defense in arizona and i also think uh you know he's had bad coaches
05:20the entire time well and like jonathan gannon no disrespect to a local guy but like come on if you
05:24brought in kyler and your first pick is jordan tyson yeah so you've got jordan tyson jerry judy
05:30uh maybe you draft another wide receiver as well just to protect yourself and harold fanon and
05:35quinshawn and dylan uh samson all of a sudden you've got the making of a really interesting
05:42offense will it be a top 10 offense i'd probably still say no but can it be good enough that
05:49with
05:49a with a defense staying strong that i think you could be a in the playoff mix yes i just
05:54don't know
05:55that we know what the cap is on that and and like i i'm not saying it all of a
05:58sudden it's a super
05:59bowl team i don't believe that to be true uh but i just i don't know that it's like we're
06:02stuck in
06:03seven eight wins and that's all it would end up being yeah like i think that's kind of the median
06:07i mean listen if kyler gets hurt you could be a five win team again or a four win team
06:11or less
06:12but i do think like i i would probably put the ceiling of that team closer to nine or ten
06:18wins
06:19and i don't know listen maybe that's a wild card spot maybe it's not i don't even know how good
06:24the
06:25afc north is going to be this year i mean i i know everybody's wanting to crown baltimore because
06:30they backed out of the max crosby trade and now have their next two first and trey hendrickson's
06:34here they don't have a good offensive line no idea steelers might throw will howard out there this
06:38year we have no idea what they're doing new head coach new offensive coordinator for baltimore
06:43uh cincinnati's plan defensively seems to be nothing uh seems to be just lose a lot of nice players
06:50the players you didn't have yeah so like i don't know i just i and again like i understand and
06:55we
06:56have an incredibly easy schedule this year we're viewing it through a one-year prism and that is
07:00tough because you want to be able to say all right what's what is this road to what kyler offers
07:07and
07:07maybe mac jones does and there might be another quarterback or two out there that does this too
07:12but what what kyler specifically offers is i don't think it's a one-year move and that is a positive
07:20the browns i know we want to skip to the part where you have the franchise quarterback it'd be
07:24great if you could do that in short order right there's going to be one or two guys in the
07:29next
07:29year one or two teams to get that and i don't know you're in the catbird seat for that given
07:34your draft collateral or given the fact that i think you might actually have a decent team next
07:38year not necessarily a great team but a decent team you need to stabilize this thing and you need
07:43to win with todd munkin out of the gate and worry about finding that long-term quarterback
07:48in real time it might not work out it doesn't work out for plenty of teams but plenty of teams
07:53try and stink their way to a quarterback and end up with josh rosen and i don't want people out
07:57there
07:57listening thinking to themselves oh or do we really have like some awesome shot at kyler murray we just
08:01don't know right now and every insider in the world talking about him already going to the vikings is okay
08:06fine but we've seen we've seen where the browns have operated in the shadows in the past i think is
08:11more what you're getting at and what you're trying to to highlight here is uh they often do things
08:16and uh don't make it obvious and so if if it does happen then uh you know it's a one
08:21guy i've said
08:21i'll i'll i'll say shador won't be the guy week one for that guy and that guy alone and it's
08:26kyler
