Cardinals sign Jacoby Brissett, block Steelers' trade for Mason Rudolph
Summary

The Arizona Cardinals have reached a new deal with quarterback Jacoby Brissett, complicating the Pittsburgh Steelers' attempts to trade Mason Rudolph. Brissett attended training camp and had been negotiating a reworked contract that resolves the Cardinals' quarterback situation. With Brissett secured, the Cardinals have a solid lineup but Rudolph now faces increased competition in the Steelers' quarterback room. The Steelers are likely to keep Aaron Rodgers and rookie Drew Allar, leaving Rudolph as a possible trade candidate for other teams, like the Indianapolis Colts or New York Jets.
