Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Signs new deal with Arizona
Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals agreed to a reworked contract Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Brissett's new deal will increase his 2026 compensation to $15.5 million guaranteed and up to $21 million with incentives, meaning he'll still become an unrestricted free agent after this season. It ends a stalemate in contract negotiations between the veteran quarterback and the Cardinals that started in mid-April right before the 2026 NFL Draft, which led to Brissett sitting out of OTAs before reporting to mandatory minicamp and training camp. Now that talks have resolved with a restructured contract, Brissett can focus his efforts toward training camp and strengthening his hold on the starting quarterback job, with Gardner Minshew and rookie third-round pick Carson Beck battling for the backup role. Brissett is coming off a career year in 2025, when he completed 64.9 percent of passes for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions across 14 regular-season games (12 starts).

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Practicing amid contract talks
Jacoby Brissett participated in Thursday's training camp practice and contract talks with the Arizona Cardinals are now ongoing and productive, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.Brissett did not participate in spring workouts and held in at minicamp, so his decision to practice Thursday eases concerns about a potential hold-in at training camp. That said, the veteran signal-caller is still seeking a raise over his current backup-level starting salary, so his contract situation will warrant monitoring until it is resolved. Brissett is expected to open the regular season as Arizona's starting quarterback, with Gardner Minshew and rookie third-round pick Carson Beck filling out the QB room.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Set to practice Thursday
Coach Mike LaFleur said Jacoby Brissett will practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Arizona Cardinals' official site reports.One day removed from reporting for training camp, Brissett will be out there on the field after sitting out the entirety of Arizona's offseason program as he seeks an upgrade on the terms of his current contract. LaFleur told Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that talks between Brissett and the team have been productive, but he'll open camp without the situation resolved. There's an expectation that Brissett will be the Week 1 starting quarterback for the Cardinals, but Gardner Minshew and rookie third-round pick Carson Beck are waiting in the wings in the event Brissett can't replicate his productive self from Week 6 onward from the 2025 campaign.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Reports to training camp

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Contract still unresolved
Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals have yet to work out a new contract ahead of players reporting for training camp Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.The veteran signal-caller is currently slated to play out 2026 on the final year of a contract set to pay him $4.88 million, a bargain for an NFL starter, and while both sides agree a raise would be warranted, that's been as far as talks seem to have gone. The Cardinals have a capable backup available in Gardner Minshew, who has taken the majority of first-team reps this offseason. Donnie Druin of SI.com reports that rookie third-round pick Carson Beck also remains unsigned and is working to negotiate increased guaranteed money, as he uses Brissett's contract impasse as leverage. Brissett completed 64.9 percent of his passes for 3,366 yards and a 23:8 TD:INT over 14 regular-season appearances with Arizona in 2025.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Gets in some work with teammates
Jacoby Brissett, who is in the midst of a contract dispute with the Arizona Cardinals, posted a photo Thursday on Instagram that showed him getting in some work recently with several teammates, Tyler Drake of Arizonasports.com reports.As he strives for new contract terms, Brissett stayed away from Arizona's voluntary work this offseason, and while the veteran signal-caller was present for the team's mandatory minicamp last month, he did not participate in practice. That he connected with WRs Marvin Harrison and Simi Fehoko, TEs Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins along with fellow QB Kedon Slovis ahead of training camp is a positive sign, but it remains to be seen if or for how long Brissett's contract issue lingers once the Cardinals re-take the field. For now, Drake notes that Brissett remains the team's expected Week 1 starter, but Gardner Minshew (who took the majority of first-team QB reps this offseason) and 2026 third-rounder Carson Beck also could enter the conversation this summer, pending Brissett's status.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Coach won't name starting QB
Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur declined Wednesday to name a starting quarterback, though Jacoby Brissett reported for the start of mandatory minicamp on Monday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.LaFleur's lack of an answer when asked about Arizona's starting quarterback may partially be posturing, after Brissett held out of voluntary workouts earlier in the offseason due to dissatisfaction with his current contract. It wouldn't be out of the question, however, for the Cardinals to host a competition that includes backup Gardner Minshew and rookie third-rounder Carson Beck if the team suspects Brissett will enact a "hold in" as the offseason progresses. Brissett is heading into the final season of his two-year deal and is slated to carry a $4.88 million salary in 2026. Earlier in the offseason, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports that Arizona informed Brissett (who was in attendance for Tuesday's minicamp practice but did not participate) he would be the team's starter for 2026.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Reports for mandatory minicamp
Jacoby Brissett reported for the start of mandatory minicamp Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Brissett would've been subject to fines if he didn't show up for minicamp after he stayed away from the Arizona Cardinals during voluntary workouts earlier this offseason. It's unclear if Brissett is giving up on his quest for more money or if he'll "hold in" during minicamp and training camp in an effort to squeeze some guaranteed money out of Arizona. The veteran quarterback is in the final year of a two-year deal and is set to collect a $4.88 million salary for 2026 as his contract currently stands.
