Kyler Murray to the Minnesota Vikings has been well-received by many NFL analysts.

ESPN recently brought together some of its NFL analysts to discuss the best and worst moves of NFL free agency this offseason, and one popular outcome was Kyler Murray to the Minnesota Vikings. Murray signed a one-year deal to compete with J. J.

McCarthy for the starting spot this fall, with many believing he will ultimately win the job. One of the trio of analysts who spoke up in favor of the signing was Aaron Schatz. He wrote, "Quarterback Kyler Murray  signing  with the Vikings.

Only two years ago, Murray played a full season with a 63. 4 QBR, ninth in the NFL. But more importantly, the language in Murray's contract with Arizona means that the Vikings signed Murray for the veteran minimum of $1.

3 million. That's a ridiculous bargain for a struggling starting quarterback, let alone a QB who could be above average. " Other analysts like former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum also spoke highly of the move.
