The Arizona Cardinals made a surprising move on Monday, announcing some cuts and roster moves.
They cut quarterback Colt McCoy, who was on track to be the Cardinals’ starter in Week 1.
The Cardinals will eat $2.25 million because that amount was guaranteed of his schedule $3.75 million in 2023.
The move makes the quarterback situation even more uncertain.
Kyler Murray, returning from a torn ACL, is expected to begin the season on PUP (the physically unable to perform list), meaning he must miss at least four games.
With McCoy now gone, it is uncertain whether rookie Clayton Tune or newly acquired Josh Dobbs will start in Week 1 for the Cardinals.
McCoy, 37 years old, was 3-3 as a starter for Arizona over the last three seasons.
Other cuts were announced and the team must trim the roster down to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m. Arizona time.
