Cardinals Draft Carson Beck, Making Jacoby Brissett a Trade Candidate

Overview

• Following the selection of quarterback Carson Beck in the third round, a report relayed by Jason La Canfora said an NFL general manager expects Arizona to move Jacoby Brissett by the trade deadline.
• Brissett is skipping voluntary team work as he seeks a multi-year deal that pays like a starter, and he is currently set to make about $4.9 million plus per-game bonuses that fit backup pay.
• General manager Monti Ossenfort said during the draft that discussions with Brissett are in a good spot, and no trade or new deal has been announced.
• Arizona signed veteran Gardner Minshew and now has Beck in the room, and Brissett's 2025 starts produced a 1–11 team record with the offense averaging 18.7 points over the final nine games.
• Head coach Mike LaFleur dismissed outside Aaron Rodgers chatter by saying he is focused on the current group of Brissett, Minshew, Kedon Slovis, and Beck.
