Cards' Jacoby Brissett Not at Offseason Program, Wants Extension
Brissett wants a deal that pays starter money and adds security after starting 12 games and posting career highs last season, sources said.
- On Friday, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett skipped the first phase of the offseason program, seeking a contract extension that "pays him as the starter," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
- Entering the final year of a two-year contract, Brissett holds a $9.06M cap hit with only $1.5M guaranteed. He seeks long-term security after starting 12 games for Arizona in 2025.
- General manager Monti Ossenfort declined to name Brissett the starter Thursday, stating, "We're not really naming anybody and we'll see how that room looks by the time we get August." The Cardinals also employ Gardner Minshew.
- Reports link Arizona to Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the 2026 NFL Draft, with ESPN analyst Louis Riddick expressing excitement about Simpson joining head coach Mike LaFleur's system.
- While the Cardinals appear willing to address the contract dispute, LaFleur recently noted, "Right now, none of that is even being discussed," as the team prioritizes building its foundational system.
