The Arizona Cardinals could move starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett during the 2026 NFL season if the team fails to secure wins. While the Cardinals possess a competitive supporting cast featuring Trey McBride, Jaremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Michael Wilson, concerns persist regarding the team's defensive strength. Analysts suggest that if Brissett records solid individual performances despite a poor team record, Arizona could explore a trade for draft capital. This strategy would allow the front office to evaluate backup Carson Beck during the remainder of the 2026 season. By shifting toward Beck, the organization could assess its quarterback needs ahead of the 2027 NFL Draft. The potential mid-season deal would likely target teams seeking a veteran replacement for an injured starter.
