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.

Cardinals Lead Five Teams in 2026's Toughest NFL Schedules

Dan Parr ranks the five teams with the toughest 2026 NFL schedules by opponents' 2025 win percentage: Cardinals (.538), Rams (.516), Seahawks (.514), Chargers (.522) and Cowboys (.493). He notes the Bears had the league's toughest SOS entering 2026 (.550), but SOS isn’t a perfect predictor, and provides a team-by-team snapshot of each squad's 2025 record and the brutal early-to-late-season stretches and primetime tests awaiting them (Cardinals vs. 49ers/Eagles/Chiefs; Rams with seven primetime games; Seahawks' late-season gauntlet; Chargers' tough midseason run; Cowboys' Brazil trip and heavy slate).

Draft Slot Sets Jeremiyah Love's Record Rookie Guarantee

The Cardinals gave running back Jeremiyah Love a four-year, $53 million fully guaranteed rookie contract—the largest guarantee for a running back in NFL history—because he was the third overall pick. rookie deals are driven by draft position, not position on the field, so the deal reflects his draft slot. His average annual value is about $13.25 million (seventh among RBs), and his future contract value will be market-driven when/if the Cardinals offer another deal.

Cardinals ink first-round RB Jeremiyah Love to four-year deal

The Arizona Cardinals signed their first-round pick Jeremiyah Love to a four-year contract worth just over $53 million guaranteed, the most guaranteed money for a running back under current contracts, with a fifth-year option; Love, who led Notre Dame in rushing and offensive touchdowns in his final two college seasons, is expected to play a major role in Arizona’s offense from the start.

Cardinals Enter 2026 Facing a Brutal Schedule While Lions Look to Rebound Under Vegas Projections

Vegas projections place the Arizona Cardinals on the league’s toughest 2026 schedule, featuring playoff teams like the Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Broncos, and Chargers, while the Detroit Lions project the easiest path, aided by fewer playoff-talent clashes and a potential rebound after a disappointing 2025; analyst Warren Sharp notes the Lions’ divisional battles with the Bears and Packers remain tough but manageable.

Rodgers and the Cardinals: A Conditional Fit in a High-Rertical Gamble

The piece weighs the case for Aaron Rodgers with the Arizona Cardinals, noting strong ties (Hackett as OC, LaFleur as head coach) and the team’s quarterback uncertainty, but also the Cardinals’ tough division and schedule, meaning a Rodgers move could be sensible in one sense and ill-advised in another; as of now there’s no clear interest from either side.

Rams Invest in Ty Simpson at 13 as Cardinals’ Interest Looms, Lions Probe First‑Round Swap

LA Rams used the No. 13 pick on Alabama QB Ty Simpson to stash behind Matthew Stafford, after weighing a potential trade-down amid chatter that the Cardinals were the biggest threat to Simpson; Detroit reportedly floated a first‑round swap to move up, but Los Angeles stayed put, and Arizona had shown heavy interest; the selection also preserves the team’s 2027 draft flexibility and signals a long-term plan with Snead and McVay aligned.

Rams Draft Ty Simpson to Foil Cardinals' Interest and Stash Him Behind Mendoza

The Rams selected Alabama QB Ty Simpson with the No. 13 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to keep him away from the Cardinals, who reportedly showed heavy interest. McVay and GM Les Snead defended the pick and highlighted pre-draft meetings to mask their hand. Simpson is expected to develop behind Matthew Stafford and backup Fernando Mendoza (and later Stetson Bennett IV), with Stafford still viewed as the starter in 2026.
