Detroit, MI, July 26, 2026 —
Jacoby Brissett has agreed to a reworked one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals, a deal reportedly valued at $15.5 million.
The team’s head coach, Mike LaFleur, confirmed that Brissett is anticipated to be the starting quarterback for Week 1. This development follows a period of negotiation that had previously caused Brissett unhappiness regarding his contract terms.
Brissett himself expressed a sense of relief following the agreement. He joined the Cardinals and stepped into a significant role as the team’s starter last season, particularly after Kyler Murray sustained an injury. During his time as the starter, Brissett aimed to contribute to the team’s efforts to improve on their previous season’s record of 3 wins and 14 losses.
The specifics of the reworked contract and the exact nature of the previous unhappiness with contract terms were not detailed. The Cardinals’ plan for the upcoming season now appears to center around Brissett leading the offense, as LaFleur indicated he is the likely Week 1 starter.
