Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals have settled their contract dispute
Arizona reached terms on a reworked deal with the quarterback on Sunday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported
Brissett was going into the second year of his two-year deal. No new years were added to the reworked contract, but he will be paid $15.5 million with a chance to make $21 million due to incentives
The veteran quarterback missed most of the Cardinals’ offseason <a href="https://healthylife7.com/when-a-workout-becomes-a-medical-emergency-the-rise-of-rhabdomyolysis/” title=”When a workout becomes a medical emergency: The rise of rhabdomyolysis”>workouts after he requested a new deal
Brissett started 12 games last season for the injured Kyler Murray. The former Patriots quarterback went 1-11 and threw for 3,336 yards with 23 touchdowns
The Cardinals elected to move on from Murray, who signed with the Minnesota Vikings in March
Brissett had two stints with the Patriots, one in 2016 after he was drafted in the third round and again in 2024. He made eight appearances (five starts) and was a mentor to Drake Maye, who eventually took over as the team’s starter
