Jacoby Brissett, starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, has not attended any voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTAs) from May 18 to May 29, 2026. His absence is linked to dissatisfaction with his $4.88 million contract for the season, which ranks him 30th among quarterbacks in the NFL. Brissett was named the starter following the release of Kyler Murray, who suffered an injury last season. The next round of OTAs is scheduled for June 1-2 and June 4, with mandatory minicamp set for June 8-10. Brissett's presence at the minicamp will be crucial to gauge the direction of his negotiations with the team.
