Overview

  • Multiple outlets report a one-year deal, with figures ranging from $5.75 million with incentives up to about $8–8.25 million to a flat $8.25 million.
  • The agreement cannot become official until the 2026 league year opens on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, per reporting.
  • Minshew is expected to compete with or back up Jacoby Brissett, giving Arizona two veteran options after moving on from Kyler Murray.
  • Arizona pursued Malik Willis earlier in free agency before he chose the Dolphins, prompting the pivot to Minshew.
  • Minshew, a 2023 Pro Bowler, missed time late in 2025 with a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture later described as a bone bruise that did not require surgery.
