Arizona Cardinals Jacoby Brissett's Return is the Best News in A While

Alex Clancy delivers an in-depth look at the Arizona Cardinals’ latest developments, headlined by Jacoby Brissett’s return for mandatory minicamp — called the best Cardinals news in a while, even if graded on a curve. Alex Clancy breaks down why Brissett is essential for ensuring offensive competency, how his presence benefits players like Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, and why Carson Beck shouldn’t start Week 1. The episode explores the state of contract negotiations for Brissett, what a new deal could look like, and analyzes the overall quarterback room’s limitations. Offense is the focus during minicamp, with particular attention to new faces like Jeremiyah Love, the meshing of skill players, and whether meaningful “scheme difference” can be seen early. On defense, Alex Clancy notes injuries and lack of additions, leaving optimism primarily on the offensive side. The show covers the blockbuster Rams trade for Myles Garrett, what it means for the division, and places the Cardinals’ challenging offseason and schedule in stark perspective. Insightful as always, Alex Clancy balances realism with glimpses of hope for fans as camp opens and the 2026 season approaches. Let's discuss. Photo Credit: Gary A.
