Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Friday that Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals remain “significantly” far apart in talks to rework the final year of his 2026 contract.
- Brissett has missed voluntary offseason sessions and first‑team reps have shifted to veteran Gardner Minshew while third‑round rookie Carson Beck is receiving additional snaps in the new offense.
- Under his current deal Brissett is slated to make roughly $4.88 million to $5.39 million in 2026 with about $1.5 million guaranteed, which is less guaranteed money than the team gave to Minshew.
- League executives and reporter Jason La Canfora describe a tepid trade market for Brissett, making an immediate trade an unlikely resolution and narrowing the club’s near‑term options.
- A mandatory minicamp set for June 8–10 creates a practical deadline because missing it can incur fines and would accelerate Beck’s evaluation and any decision about the starting quarterback role.
