Even with Murray this year the team is 31st overall in cap spending on the QB group/position at $11,318,732... I believe they want Murray to start. Simple as that.

Vikings' 31st QB spending rank signals preference for Murray as starter.

The Vikings' cap spending strategy strongly suggests they want Kyler Murray to start. Despite signing Murray, the team is 31st overall in QB group cap spending at $11.3M in 2026 (and 29th at $12.9M in 2025), indicating they are not paying premium money for the position and have flexibility to spend elsewhere. This conservative QB spending approach, combined with Murray's strong early training camp performance, signals the team's preference for Murray as the starter.
