Brissett is seeking more guaranteed money as Arizona opens OTAs, while the Cardinals still expect him to start despite the holdout.
- On Monday, May 18, 2026, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett missed the team's first day of voluntary organized team activities while continuing his holdout for a new contract extension.
- Brissett is currently set to earn a $4.88 million base salary, seeking a pay increase reflecting his role as presumptive starter following the release of Kyler Murray, former quarterback.

- Although these voluntary sessions carry limited stakes, Brissett faces potential fines if he fails to report for mandatory minicamp in June, marking the first disciplinary pressure point.
