The quarterback carousel is always in motion. And while many NFL teams know where they stand at signal-caller heading into the 2024 season, there are plenty facing uncertainty at football's most important position.

But the Cardinals won their way out of the top three draft spots, and it now looks like Murray will be around for the long haul. His play after returning from a torn right ACL last season was a little disappointing — he had a
