Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is currently holding out for a contract extension as the team prepares for the 2026 NFL draft. Brissett, who was not present for the offseason program that began on April 1, is seeking a multi-year deal that compensates him as a starting quarterback. Following a challenging season in which he started the final 12 games of 2025, Brissett recorded career highs with 3,366 passing yards and 23 touchdown passes, despite the team finishing with a 1-11 record. The Cardinals recently signed Gardner Minshew, adding competition for the starting role, and there are discussions about potentially drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. Brissett's current contract includes a $4.88 million salary for 2026, with limited guarantees. While the Cardinals may consider addressing his contract situation, significant changes are unlikely until after the draft.
