Quarterback Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals have agreed to a reworked one-year contract, making him the likely starter for the upcoming season under new coach Mike LaFleur. Brissett, 33, was dissatisfied with his previous contract, which guaranteed only $1.5 million. The new deal is reportedly worth $15.5 million. Last season, Brissett stepped in as the starter for the final 12 games after Kyler Murray’s injury, achieving 3,366 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, though the team went 1-11 in those games. LaFleur expressed confidence in Brissett’s ability to lead the team, noting his experience and popularity in the locker room. The Cardinals’ other quarterback options include Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck. The team will begin its preseason on August 6 against the Carolina Panthers.
