Cardinals Tap Jacoby Brissett as QB1 as Contract Talks Progress

Arizona weighs short-term stability against evaluating rookie Carson Beck in a reshaped quarterback room.

Overview

  • Reports Thursday said the Cardinals labeled Jacoby Brissett their starter and began discussing a contract adjustment to match that role.
  • Brissett is skipping voluntary workouts and is not expected back until mandatory minicamp from June 8 to 10 as he seeks better guarantees.
  • He is in the final year of his deal at $9.06 million with about $1.5 million guaranteed, and Ian Rapoport reported the team appears open to improving the security.
  • The depth chart slots Gardner Minshew as No. 2, and third-round pick Carson Beck is set to learn the system unless he outplays the veterans in camp.
  • Coaches and reporters say Beck’s camp performance could shape Arizona’s next draft priorities after moving on from Kyler Murray, since a starter-ready rookie would let the team target other needs.
