There's zero doubt in Jonathan Gannon's mind that Kyler Murray will be the Arizona Cardinals' starting quarterback in 2024.

"I've been (convinced) since I got here," Gannon said Wednesday, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. "What the guy's done for us, the player that he is, the person that he is, the competitor that he is, I kind of chuckled. That's been my view since I got here."

There had been speculation that the Cardinals could move on from Murray in 2024 if Gannon wanted a quarterback of his picking. Arizona currently holds the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

However, Gannon spoke at length about the great relationship and trust he has with Murray.

"I love the fact that he feels he doesn't have to tell me anything, the fact that he comes to me and just thinks that my opinion matters means a lot," Gannon said.

The Cardinals have gone 4-12 this season but are 3-4 since Kyler Murray returned from an ACL tear he suffered last year. The former No. 1 overall pick has thrown nine touchdowns to five interceptions while also leading two fourth-quarter comebacks, including one last Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
