The Arizona Cardinals have a new head coach. Chances are, they’ll also have a new starting quarterback in 2026, which will likely be the end of Kyler Murray’s career in Arizona. If new Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur decides he wants his own hand-picked QB, who could it be?
The popular pick points to the Cardinals pursuing top free agent quarterback Malik Willis. The dual-threat QB, who has spent the last two seasons in Green Bay, could be an ideal fit for LaFleur’s offense, especially since he spent the last two seasons in Green Bay playing for Mike’s brother Matt.
Recently, Tony Pauline of Essential Sports revealed that sources he has spoken with believe Willis will end up with the Cardinals.
Willis will likely not re-sign in Green Bay. Instead, he’ll likely receive some offers that will give him a chance to emerge as the starting quarterback, and Arizona would certainly fit the bill. However, the Cardinals likely won’t be the only team pursuing the 26-year-old who went 2-1 as a starter in Green Bay.
Teams view Willis as a player worth taking a big chance after completing 78.7% of his passes for 972 yards, 6 TDs and no interceptions as a member of the Packers.
The question is, how much money will teams be willing to pay for a player who has made six starts? And how many teams will be involved in a market that doesn’t have many high-end options available at the QB position?
