Jacoby Brissett Locks Down QB Role | Arizona Cardinals News

The Cardinals have locked in Jacoby Brissett for a one-year, $15.5M guaranteed deal, rewarding his unexpected starting role last season when Kyler Murray was sidelined. Now that Murray’s gone, Brissett’s new contract reflects his value as a veteran QB with 20 wins as a starter — even if he’s just holding down the fort for now. With the team building around stars like Trey McBride and rookie Jeremiyah Love, Brissett slots in as the 19th-highest paid QB on average — a solid middle-of-the-road deal. While Gardner Minshew or a rookie could still get a shot, the Cardinals are clearly watching the QB draft closely. And this isn’t just Arizona — Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson are also in the middle of major contract talks, making this a pivotal moment for signal-callers across the league.
