Quarterback · Arizona Cardinals

Jacoby Brissett

No. 7 · 11th season

Brissett skipped all the optional stuff. Training camp is a different conversation.

He showed up when he had to — and only then. Jacoby Brissett sat out the Arizona Cardinals' entire offseason program, including the mandatory minicamp sessions the team held this spring. The message was quiet but clear: he wants a new deal before he gives everything he has.

Brissett has spent his career being the guy teams call on when things go sideways — a steady, professional presence who rarely creates headlines for the wrong reasons. That history makes this move read differently than it might for someone else. This is not someone throwing a fit. This is someone making a calculated point.

The holdout has its limits, though. Brissett has committed to training camp, which means the Arizona Cardinals will have their quarterback when the real work begins. What is still unsettled is whether he will have the contract he has been pushing for when he gets there.

That gap — between what he is asking for and what he has right now — is the thing worth watching. Training camp starts with him in the building. Whether both sides feel good about that is a separate question entirely.
