Analysis Summary
Jacoby Brissett skipped the start of Cardinals offseason workouts while requesting a contract extension that reflects starter-level pay, given he's currently due just $9.06M with only $1.5M guaranteed. The holdout is typical leverage in QB negotiations — Brissett wants security before the team drafts his replacement, and Arizona has signaled openness to talks. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur notably declined to name Brissett the starter at the draft presser, suggesting the team may still pursue a QB upgrade in the draft class.
