Brissett's contract dispute highlights underpayment compared to Stidham
Summary

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.
