What happened: The decision ends Minnesota's preseason quarterback competition. Murray arrived this offseason on a one-year contract.
Why it matters: Minnesota can now center its Week 1 preparation on Murray. His minimum deal limits the team's commitment, while $36.8 million remains due under his prior contract this season.
By the numbers: Murray has 22,240 net passing and rushing yards since entering the NFL, ranking 11th over that span.
What to watch: Murray's work with the first-team offense through the rest of preseason is the next checkpoint.
