Arizona Cardinals signal-caller Jacoby Brissett is pursuing a new deal that would compensate him at starting quarterback levels.
According to NFL Network’s Friday report, Brissett has chosen to skip the team’s voluntary offseason training sessions while he works to resolve his contract situation.
The 33-year-old quarterback currently has just $1.5 million in guaranteed money remaining on his one-year deal and appears set to take over as the Cardinals’ primary starter following the team’s decision to part ways with Kyler Murray on March 3. Murray, who was previously selected first overall in the draft, inked a one-year agreement with the Minnesota Vikings on March 12.
Beyond Brissett, Arizona’s quarterback depth chart includes Gardner Minshew II and Kedon Slovis. The organization is anticipated to select another quarterback in the upcoming NFL draft.
During the previous campaign, the veteran quarterback filled in admirably for Murray, completing passes for 3,366 yards while recording 23 touchdown throws against eight interceptions across 14 appearances, including 12 as a starter.
Despite Brissett’s solid performance, the Cardinals struggled to a 3-14 record in the competitive NFC West during 2025 and dismissed head coach Jonathan Gannon on January 5 following his three-year tenure.
The former Super Bowl winner with New England has accumulated 14,766 passing yards throughout his career, along with 76 touchdown passes and 32 interceptions while playing for the Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, Washington Commanders and Cardinals.
