Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett was not present at the start of OTAs on Monday as he continues to angle for an improved contract from the organization.
Last season, Brissett took over as Arizona’s starter in the absence of Kyler Murray and was subsequently penciled in as the QB1 for the 2026 season after Murray was released and signed with the Vikings. Brissett wants to be paid like a starting quarterback, however, and he’s shown he’s willing to skip out on OTAs in order to encourage the team to get a deal done. Of course, the 33-year-old is under no obligation to report to the team until mandatory minicamp begins in June, at which point he’d be eligible to be fined for his absences.
