It would be intriguing to see a Hall of Fame coach implement an offense designed to maximize Murray, and if the team can manage to tread water early on, it could get better as the year goes along.
The one reason these odds may be a worth a flier, however: the continued pursuit of Sean Payton. If Hopkins is dealt, it will signal a rebuilding campaign for the Cardinals, who have a new general manager in place in Monti Ossenfort and are currently in search of a head coach. If he misses a significant chunk of the year, Arizona will be fighting an uphill battle to even remain in the playoff hunt.įurthermore, star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins could be traded this offseason, as his odds of returning to Arizona next season opened at 50-to-1 are currently listed at 20-to-1 by DraftKings.ĭeAndre Hopkins is an extreme longshot to remain with the Cardinals in 2023. It’s unclear whether veteran Colt McCoy or another quarterback will be under center to begin the year for Arizona, but without Murray on the field down the stretch the Cardinals were non-competitive in many contests.
