From The Insiders on @NFLNetwork: The #AZCardinals got QB Jacoby Brissett back... for at least a few days. https://t.co/ Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Jacoby Brissett has reported to the Arizona Cardinals' mandatory minicamp, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The quarterback's arrival avoids over $100,000 in mandatory fines following his absence from the voluntary offseason program.

Why it matters: Brissett is seeking a contract extension that reflects his status as the team's presumed Week 1 starter. He is currently entering the final year of his deal with a $4.88 million base salary, which is less than the compensation slated for backup Gardner Minshew. The Cardinals released former franchise quarterback Kyler Murray earlier this offseason.

By the numbers: During the 2025 season, Brissett established new career highs as a starter, throwing for 3,366 yards and 23 touchdowns.

What to watch: Watch to see if Brissett actually participates in on-field drills or opts for a hold-in to protect his health while negotiations continue.
