What happened: Arizona Cardinals starting QB Jacoby Brissett is staying away from the team as he seeks a new contract post-NFL Draft. The Cardinals selected former Miami QB Carson Beck at No. 65 overall in Round 3. This ensures plenty of reps for the rookie quarterback.

Why it matters: Brissett's holdout opens the door for Beck to gain significant practice time ahead of the 2026 season. It underscores QB depth concerns for Arizona entering training camp. The situation could accelerate competition for the starting role.

What to watch: Watch Brissett contract talks and Beck's showings in rookie minicamp.
