Jacoby Brissett wants extension that pays as a starter

[MaoTosiFanClub]

i think we already know this, no?

Simple Jack level smart

There are lots of players that are overpaid - that doesn't seem sufficient to me to pay a career backup starter money. If he wants to sit out, let him.

Other salaries are the basis for negotiations. Not saying AZ should pay it but that is probably the comp. 2026 salary (not the entire Willis contract) and then wanting something when the Cardinals dump him in 2027.

this is an insult to Simple Jack.

 

[Vacard]

He only won one freakin game last year. Welcome to Az Allar!

 

[Zalixar]

If he's starting, the dude deserves a bit more cash. Not like our cap room will be affected.

another common Lossenfort B L U N D E R

Why you wouldn't have bumped his salary for 2026, guaranteed it, and given him a 2027 sweetener the moment you cut Murray is wild.

 

[Chopper0080]

They are paying Baron Browning more to do less than they are paying Brissett to be their starting QB. So dumb.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

They aren't going to pay him like a starter, then draft a starting QB in the first three rounds of the draft. He'll get a bump in pay if we don't draft a QB, and he'll get traded if we do select a QB.

 

[schutd]

perhaps a naive and/or idiotic question. Can't we offer him a contract that incentivizes games started? If he earns and keeps his starter role, he gets a wad of cash. Otherwise he keeps backup money.

Granted, this org would pull him right before his final start to earn the extra money, but...

On second thought, maybe theres a bonus for each game started.

What do I know?

 

[Stout]

Oh hell no, Jacoby. Sit down and shut up.

It makes sense now that everyone from the Cards are singing that they don't have a set starter.

 

[Covert Rain]

If you brought him in as insurance but are now asking him to be starter? He deserves more cash. I wouldn't overpay the dude or anything but the Cards sound like they are going to ask him to be much more. I think getting paid to do more is reasonable. Again, not saying he should get typical starting QB money.

Unfortunately, but hope springs eternal.

 

[PDXChris]

What leverage does he have?!? He was 1-11 as a starter. He should be thanking god every day that there is an NFL franchise that's incompetent enough to have him as a starter.

He printed all of the praise form this message board and used that as leverage.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Unfortunately, but hope springs eternal.

not with this team.

yes, I have gone back to full darksider mode after keeping so many awful coaches from the previous regime and doing next to nothing in FA, as usual and now looking at a situation where... Jacoby Brissett is making us look like fools.

 

[unseenaz]

It would be awesome if the thread title was a little more descriptive: “Brissett reportedly unhappy with contract”

No! Monti is big brain! He’s not naming a starter! Don’t have to pay anyone starter money! Genius!

Suggested thread title “Big Brain Monti strikes again!!”

 

[Goodyear Card]

On how many teams would Brissett be starting? It's not like he is going to save the team next year. Did his performance last year earn him a new contract?

 

[mel typer]

Brissett nothing more than a journeyman backup QB. Who's going to trade for him? Not too smart Jacoby when you already have your foot in the door.

Maybe Indy as insurance in case Jones isn't ready or the Jets. That is probably it as this point.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Jacoby is clearly going to be the starter to open the season. He deserves to at least get paid like a low end starter which I think would be $12-14M per year:

I think Jacoby sucks. There I said it.

 

[HerefortheCards]

Brisset is scheduled to make 9 million per win he had last year as the starter. He needs to sit down and shut up.

Only the Cardinals can do that to themselves, but at least I get to watch all their games on local television. As painful as that might be, it's something.

 

[HerefortheCards]

Brisset is scheduled to make 9 million per game he lead the Cardinals to at least 27 points last year.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Brisset is scheduled to make 9 million per game he lead the Cardinals to at least 27 points last year.

But only $1.5 million in guaranteed money...

 

[cardpa]

Like it or not if Brissett is going to be the starter, he should get a bump in pay. Front load an extension so if the team decides to move on from him in 2027, it will be cap friendly. Even if they draft Simpson, you don't want him starting behind this Oline and getting his brains beat out. Besides with his limited starts in college he is almost certainly not ready to play from the get go.
