The Arizona Cardinals must make major upgrades at key positions. With the fourth-most cap space available ($76 million per Overthecap), the Cardinals could significantly improve their team during this offseason’s free agency period. One name to keep an eye on is quarterback Kyler Murray. While the Cardinals intend to keep Murray, trading away the former No. 1 pick could provide them with more draft picks to build a complete team. Here are three teams that should trade for Kyler Murray.
New York Jets

Under new head coach Aaron Glenn, the Jets are deciding to part ways with Aaron Rodgers.
Will Glenn hitch his wagon to a rookie quarterback?
The Jets have an above-average defense, an improving offensive line, a young running back (Breece Hall), and a talented wide receiver (Garrett Wilson).
The Jets don’t need a stud at quarterback. They need someone to make plays when called upon. That could be Murray, whose legs provide a dynamic element to an offense that needs more playmakers.
Las Vegas Raiders
Kyler Murray a potential trade option? #Raiders #RaiderNation https://t.co/IE47cmhQEN

Do the Las Vegas Raiders believe they can take a quarterback at No. 6 in the NFL Draft without moving up?
If they believe a quarterback will fall to them at No. 6, the Raiders won’t trade for Murray.
If the Raiders do not want to trade draft picks to move up, then trading for Murray is a decent option.
Consider that the Raiders just hired 73-year-old head coach Pete Carroll, who is likely not looking to rebuild.
Carroll may want to take a big swing, and Murray could be that player to desperately fix their quarterback situation.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are consistent as they come. Mike Tomlin never finished under .500.
However, the Steelers have lost their last six playoff games.
Pittsburgh’s defense will always be solid under Tomlin. However, the offense is stuck in the past.
It’s conservative and lacks playmaking.
We’ve seen what the Steelers can do with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Murray is an upgrade over both quarterbacks.
If Tomlin is guaranteed to finish with a winning record, why not swing for the fences and try to get Murray?
