Time to Move On from Mike Zimmer – Daily Norseman I’ve not been on-board with the fire Mike Zimmer crowd or the blow it up crowd, but at this point the time is right for big changes in the Vikings coaching staff. The timing of mid-season or end…
Kyler Murray had a 2022 season that he wishes he could simply forget.
While he got a new contract with the Arizona Cardinals this year, he didn’t have a good season at all.

His 3-8 record for the season was his worst since his rookie season.
His 2022 touchdown percentage, average passing yards per game, and QBR were all the worst of his career.
However, the worst part of his season was an ACL injury he suffered against the New England Patriots.
While the injury was over a month ago, NFL insider Ian Rapoport has an update on his injury.
According to him, the young quarterback is taking his time to ensure his ACL is 100% before he returns.

Cardinals have a March 25th deadline looming to pick up Kyler Murray's $36M option. Currently he counts $16M against the 2023 cap. A trade before the option would only add $7M to that number. After the option is picked up, the dead money balloons to $59.2M. pic.twitter.com/z3aazdV1kA
His reason behind the crazy idea is the possibility of new owners coming to Washington.

If the Commanders have new owners, he can see them going after both Brady and Sean Payton.
He notes how Brady and Payton were linked to a deal in Miami, and how it can become a reality in Washington.
While the idea seems crazy, the Commanders have some solid players on their team.
With several first-round picks on their defense, they can be a force in 2023.
However, a move by Brady to the Commanders gives him a questionable offensive line.

While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the best team in the NFL protecting their quarterback, the Commanders’ offensive line allowed 48 sacks, ranking them 7th in sacks allowed.
If the team wants to make Ryan’s idea a reality, they need some protection for the aging Brady.
With him turning 46-years-old for the 2023 NFL season, he can’t afford to take big hits.
Because of this, Ryan’s far-fetched idea for Brady might remain nothing more than a crazy dream.
