What happened

Jacoby Brissett wants his starter-level money, but the Cardinals may be eyeing other options.

Why it matters

Brissett is slated to make $9.06 million in 2026 with only $1.5 million guaranteed this year and is likely seeking some extra security — and is planning to skip Phase 1 of the Cardinals offseason program, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Common ground

Rapoport’s NFL Media teammate Daniel Jeremiah sees another leverage play in mind.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
