What happened: The agreement replaces a contract that was scheduled to pay Jacoby Brissett a $4.88 million base salary in 2026. He skipped most of the offseason program while seeking new terms.
Why it matters: The deal ends a contract standoff that reached training camp. Its one-year structure preserves Brissett's path to 2027 free agency.
By the numbers: Guaranteed 2026 pay rises $10.62 million from the previously scheduled base, an increase of about 218%. Incentives offer another $5.5 million.
What to watch: Attention turns to Brissett's training-camp workload and the performance thresholds attached to the incentives.
