🚨 🤯 VIKINGS STUN NFL WITH DEADLINE BLOCKBUSTER! 🤯 🚨
VIKINGS TRADE LB DALLAS TURNER, 2026 2ND-ROUND PICK, 2027 3RD-ROUND PICK TO CARDINALS FOR QB KYLER MURRAYMINNEAPOLIS, MN – October 31, 2025 – The NFL trade deadline just exploded! Following J.J. McCarthy’s injury, the Minnesota Vikings have made an "all-in" move to salvage their season and secure their long-term QB, acquiring QB Kyler Murray from the Arizona Cardinals.
The full compensation package is a win-win for both franchises:
💜 VIKINGS RECEIVE:
QB Kyler Murray 💰 (Immediate franchise QB)
🔥 CARDINALS RECEIVE:
LB Dallas Turner (2024 1st-Round Pick, defensive cornerstone on a rookie deal)
2026 2nd-Round Pick (High-value draft capital)
2027 3rd-Round Pick (Additional draft flexibility)
VIKINGS' GAMBLE: The loss of a blue-chip defender in Turner is offset by a huge gain in Murray's elite talent. Crucially, Minnesota’s projected 2026 3rd-Round Compensatory Pick (thanks to Sam Darnold's success) and other comp picks soften the blow of trading away their own draft capital. They keep their own 2026 1st-Round pick, preserving their long-term flexibility.
CARDINALS' RESET: Arizona eats the massive Kyler Murray dead cap hit (projected ~$59M in 2025) to immediately reset their defense with Turner and gain high-value picks. They trade their financial anchor for a defensive building block and future assets. 🛠️
The NFC North race just got a whole lot spicier! 🌶️
