The biggest story of the offseason for the Arizona Cardinals has been the ongoing contract dispute with Jacoby Brissett. Projected to be the Cardinals' starting quarterback and due to make only about $4.9 million in salary, of which $1.5 million is guaranteed, he seeks to be paid like a starter.
One of his Cardinals teammates appears to have made a real statement about the situation on social media.
Safety Budda Baker, seemingly in support of Brissett, or perhaps some other teammate in contract talks, posted:
If it is about Brissett, it is interesting that Baker says that what is being asked is below the bare minimum. The last we heard about negotiations was that the Cardinals and Brissett were very far apart.
Unless Brissett has changed his demands, he was looking for a multi-year deal that pays him in line with starting quarterbacks around the league, which is $19 million and above.
The fact he is only guaranteed $1.5 million of his salary could also be part of it, although vested veterans get their full salary guaranteed if they are on the active roster for the game in Week 1.
The Cardinals report for camp on July 22. We will see if any deal gets done by then.
