No idea why this drama wasn't sorted ages ago. I'm now of the opinion that if we back down to Brissett we look even worse than we already do. I'd withdraw offer to JB and start Minshew, at least Minshew has some experience of leading a poor team and getting some wins, think he'd help channel that 'underdog mentality' better than JB.
If Jacoby is the best QB on the roster, and he is, you owe it to the team to start the year with him. Otherwise, you'll lose the team game 1. The Cards didn't win but he put up some good passing numbers and made Mike Wilson relevant.
This is, shockingly, another massive fail by our esteemed GM.

I don’t think it would come to this but the Cardinals can save $5.94 million on cutting Brissett before or after June 1.

Trading him would save $7.4 million.
No one is trading for a 35 year old backup that is 20-45 lifetime.

I guess Brissett is desperate to prove something. The problem is his timing is bad. He’s working for a losing team that his history says he can’t meaningfully impact. I could support his position if he were simply asking for more money as he likely takes significant physical risk into the season. The Cards are offering an enhanced Oline and potentially an impact RB. Brissett has said he wants to prove he’s a starter. It seems to me this is his chance to prove it. This is not the perfect team, but that team isn’t hiring Brissett to start. His request for another year isn’t realistic. If his request is for substantially more than double his previously guaranteed moeny, that’s not realistic. You can’t negotiate effectively with someone who starts from an unrealistic position and won’t significantly move. This is on JB. It’s his turn to move or likely lose his last chance to be the guy. It’s back to a bench if the Cards release him

This is made up
unless you have some source - nobody knows what brissett wants - it's obviously more money for this year - but nobody knows how much or if he's also demanding more time on his contract

nobody knows - nobody claims to

brissett knows what's up - he knows we drafted beck - brissett also knows about the qb harvest due this next draft

if i'm brissett i need to quit dicking around with this contract and get into camp - i need to start in arizona this year and give them a reason not to draft another qb next year

if im monti im good with giving brissett more money for this year but that's it - im not talking 2027 - i only signed minshew for 1 year too

if im monti im going to take my best swing in every draft until we land a quarterback - this year it was beck - he was only the 3rd qb off the board iirc - im more interested in beck than i am brissett because im looking for the future

brissett is getting phased out of arizona and rightfully so - if he wants to be a starter he needs to show up and fight for his job - then he needs to play great enough to keep it

It's going to be such a struggle. Those heartless people in the Cardinals organization just don't seem to care. :rolleyes:
OOF. This kind of post really misses the mark. Its all context, my man. If you don't side with labor, regardless of salary, you dont side with 90% of humanity. And Im a small business owner.

To paraphrase the late Junior Seau, "If you agreed to a contract, then honor it. Once that contract is up, negotiate a new one."

You, and now Harry, are asserting it with no evidence. Stop doing that and I’ll stop calling it out that it’s cooked here.

People can’t abide the idea that Monti is both dumb and inept and are cooking up speculation to remediate that idea.

lol i've been clear the whole time sunshine - im not pro monti no matter how hard you try and ive never suggested i know anything regarding the contract

these are all just my takes on a fan board - im just guessing along with other fans as to why this contract is taking so long and if it's going to get done at all

But people who aren’t ASFN perverts like me don’t know your full ouvre and that you conjured this from thin air. Just add an “if” in front of the many, many times you’ve asserted that Brissett is demanding extra years (with no evidence and precious little logic backing it).

Ah… cool. So in turn I’m sure you also believe the owners should never cut players that end up being overpaid or get old and don’t live up to the contract they signed when they were younger.

I don’t care if the take your takes as gospel. You’re basically spreading fake news when you state something as fact that you made up. And then it starts floating around the board as fact.

Remember how he wanted Michael to honor the extension he gave to Kyler Murray to the end?

JBs 2025 stats warrant more money. If you project his 12 games into 17, he is a top 10 QB statwise. However his 1-11 record doesn’t warrant a new contract but whose fault is that? He was working behind a porous Oline and a string of 2nd and 3rd string RBs, along with a defense that couldn’t manage a pass rush. So what to do? I think he’s our best bet for this season and could very well surprise everyone. Not our future but if we wanna win now there’s no better choice.
IMO

What are you even talking about. Several of us here thought it was a huge mistake to give Kyler that huge deal after he showed nothing in the way of earning it in the first place. We should have moved off Kyler then and saved a lot of wasted time with him.

That's why players and their agents (when they have one) fight so hard for guaranteed money. You can get cut anytime.

The point is, you seem to favor a contract situation that favors the billionaire owners over the millionaire labor force. I cannot understand why. In what world can you expect players to honor a contract to full term while simultaneously letting the owners off the hook for the same honor??? Its ridiculous, actually.

Yes but I also remember all those threads where you said that Michael agreed to that contract so now he has to stick to it. Obviously you wouldn’t hold management to a different standard than labor.

It's just a laughable situation where a player signs a contract and is so happy with it yet in a couple of seasons, they are on the mic saying the team is disrespecting them with how little they are paying them. Then sign shorter deals and re-up more often. You thought the contract was fantastic yet now you want it ripped up so you can get more money. They do not live in the real world.
