A positive sign surfaced for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday after it was announced that quarterback Jacoby Brissett will attend the team’s mini-camp this week.
The development was reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Josh Weinfuss.
Brissett had been absent from the Cardinals’ OTAs amid his contract standoff with the front office. He is seeking a raise as he is due to receive $4.9 million this season.
Fowler and Weinfuss noted that the 33-year-old Brissett could be fined close to $108,000 if he does not show up for the mini-camp, based on the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement. They added that Brissett’s level of participation in the said activity remains unclear.
In his maiden stint with the Cardinals last season, he passed for career-highs of 3,366 yards and 25 touchdowns in 14 games. Arizona finished with a 3-14 record and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year.
Brissett signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract with the Cardinals in 2025. He was thrust into the starting role in Week 6 after fellow quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a foot injury.
Brissett played well enough to convince Arizona to stick with him, releasing Murray in March after seven seasons. Murray signed with the Minnesota Vikings.
Cardinals coach Matt LaFleur already stated that he is not too worried about Brissett’s situation.
