Jacoby Brissett has not fully attended offseason activities with the Arizona Cardinals, citing underpayment as a key issue. Scheduled to earn $4.88 million this year with only $1.5 million guaranteed, he claims he deserves a higher contract, especially given the salaries of other quarterbacks like Jarrett Stidham. With the Cardinals potentially looking to draft a first-round quarterback next year, Brissett's future with the team remains uncertain. A compromise may be reached, but neither side has a strong incentive to concede.
- •Brissett is competing for the QB1 role with the Cardinals.
- •He argues for a contract raise due to his performance last season.
- •Current salaries of quarterbacks like Stidham influence his claims.
- •The Cardinals have multiple options at quarterback, complicating Brissett's standing.
