Cardinals far apart with Brissett on reworked deal as new regime settles in

ESPN's Josh Weinfuss reports the Arizona Cardinals are significantly apart in negotiations with Jacoby Brissett over a reworked 2026 contract. Brissett is in the second year of a two-year deal (4.88M in 2026 with only 1.5M guaranteed), trailing Gardner Minshew's 5.14M guaranteed. Brissett has skipped voluntary offseason programs ahead of a June minicamp, which would cost him nearly $108k if missed. Last season he started 12 games for the 1-11 Cardinals, throwing for 3,366 yards with 23 TDs and 8 INTs, as the team begins under a new head coach and offense, leaving his starting status unclear.
