ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss reports Kyler Murray and Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort have not talked since the season ended.

Well, not much to talk about, is there? The Cardinals projected some “all options are on the table” stuff at Ossenfort’s presser ahead of questions, trying to pre-empt them. It seems more likely than not that the Cardinals will release Murray before his contract guarantees kick in. All that’s left is trying to bait a team in to trading for him before that happens. The fact that the two sides haven’t even talked says a lot about the odds of Arizona actually retaining Murray, making it appear that there is one less option on the theoretical table.
