Brissett Lands $10M Raise After Months of Negotiations

Cardinals QB Ends Stressful Offseason by Signing New Deal

In a move that brings $10 million to the table, Jacoby Brissett finalized his new contract with the Arizona Cardinals. However, this negotiation was far from smooth sailing.

The quarterback himself served as his agent, but it came at a personal cost. 'It’s your livelihood; it’s business; and it’s part of this game,' he admitted to Darren Urban, the team website's writer. Sleepless nights were common, with Brissett averaging just three hours per night.

The stress peaked during the offseason—an entire voluntary practice period was skipped by Brissett as negotiations lasted well into training camp. Now that this deal is secured, the Cardinals' starter will turn his focus back to football, though a tough competition remains for the starting position in Week 1, with Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck vying for it.
