What happened: Jacoby Brissett is practicing for the Cardinals through the start of training camp, with new-deal talks now described as productive rather than stalled. He had previously operated as a hold-in during mandatory minicamp while the two sides worked toward terms.

Why it matters: A veteran quarterback showing up and working while his side keeps pushing for money is the same leverage play we've seen across the league, and it usually ends with a check. Arizona letting this stretch through camp instead of closing it out risks exactly the kind of distraction a rebuilding quarterback room can't afford. Am I wrong?
