Cardinals optimistic on Carson Beck as he shows progress behind Brissett

Arizona's rookie Carson Beck impressed in his preseason debut with strong pre-snap work, blitz recognition and smart decision-making, fueling optimism that he could become an NFL starter someday. For now, Jacoby Brissett remains the expected Week 1 QB after signing a one-year, $15.5 million deal, with Gardner Minshew as depth; Beck’s continued progress in OTAs, camp and the preseason is keeping the buzz alive around his long-term potential.

QB Battles Set the Stage for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL Season

NFL training camps spotlight four QB battles for Week 1 of 2026: Kyler Murray vs. J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota (Murray favored to win), Tua Tagovailoa vs. Michael Penix Jr. (Penix hobbled by ACL rehab while Tagovailoa deals with a minor back issue, keeping Tagovailoa ahead), Deshaun Watson vs. Shedeur Sanders in Cleveland (Sanders gaining traction but Watson’s longer track record keeps him in the mix), and Kirk Cousins vs. Fernando Mendoza in Las Vegas (Cousins as the starter with Mendoza on a patient development path). The piece also flags veterans like Baker Mayfield, Jacoby Brissett, Geno Smith, and Malik Willis as players who must prove their worth to secure future roles. Predictions: Murray, Tagovailoa, Watson, and Cousins win Week 1 starts, with Mendoza waiting in the wings.

Brissett: Learning Curve Ahead as Cardinals Install Hackett's Offense

Jacoby Brissett reworked his Cardinals contract and says he doesn’t yet know the offense under new OC Nathaniel Hackett, calling it a Day 1 install and promising to put in the work during training camp. Brissett started 12 of 14 games last season for Arizona, compiling 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and a 64.9% completion rate, and now must adapt to Hackett’s system as he aims to build on what was the best season of his career. The deal is worth $15.5 million with incentives up to $21 million, up from a $4.9 million base.

Brissett seeks Week 1 starter role as Cardinals push offense forward

Fresh off a new contract, Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is focused on learning the new offense and earning the Week 1 starting job, admitting he got only about three hours of sleep during contract talks. In the second open practice, he showed a spark—completing a 21-yard pass to Tejhaun Palmer and two red‑zone TDs to Xavier Weaver—while teammates and coaches indicate Brissett is the likely Week 1 starter on Sept. 13, with Minshew II and Beck continuing to compete but facing growing pains.

Brissett contract clears the way for Cardinals to focus on football, LaFleur says

Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s new deal sets a base salary of $15.5 million and positions him as the likely starter for the 2026 season. Coach Mike LaFleur said the contract resolution removes distractions and lets the team focus on football, though he did not guarantee Brissett as the Week 1 starter; Brissett missed voluntary offseason work and will be relied upon for his experience to help install the offense.

Brissett Begins Cardinals Camp as Contract Talks Loom

Jacoby Brissett reported to the Arizona Cardinals' training camp alongside veterans amid ongoing contract discussions that could reflect his Week 1 starter status. He did not practice in the spring while seeking a revised deal, with up to $5.39 million in potential pay but only $1.5 million guaranteed. His camp presence will indicate whether he plans to hold out until terms are settled; Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck remain other quarterback options as the team prepares for the season.

Brissett Pushes for Starter Pay After Elevating Role with Cardinals

Brissett Pushes for Starter Pay After Elevating Role with Cardinals

Brissett, signed as Kyler Murray’s backup, started 12 games last season and has been eased into the Cardinals’ starting role, now seeking a contract adjustment toward a starter’s salary—about $20 million per year vs. his current average of $6.25 million. Arizona isn’t required to renegotiate, and a holdout is unlikely; a hold-in could be a compromise. With a new coaching staff and offense, the team could still see competition for the job, but Brissett believes his new role warrants updated compensation if he remains the starter.

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 lean into Love upgrade while eyes stay on Brissett’s future

Arizona’s moves center on upgrading the offense with running back Jeremiyah Love and continuing contract talks with veteran QB Jacoby Brissett, who may be the 2026 starter as Ty Simpson heads to the Rams; the team hasn’t named a starter yet and Love will be introduced soon, while they also evaluate remaining draft options (per Daniel Jeremiah’s list) at defensive backs and offensive line as part of their broader roster plan.
