What they're saying

"
Jacoby Brissett had a lot on his mind during the first few days of the Arizona Cardinals' training camp considering the quarterback was mostly relegated to the sidelines while he waited for a new and improved contract for 2026. As the Cardinals rebuild under first-year coach Mike LaFleur, Love is a key piece to the future. The No. 3 overall pick in April's draft signed a fully-guaranteed $53 million, four-year deal earlier this summer and there's little doubt Arizona expects the former Notre Dame star to contribute sooner rather than later.
