The Cardinals secured their quarterback placeholder.
Jacoby Brissett and the team worked out a restructured one-year contract worth $15.5 million guaranteed, ESPN reported, after the journeyman quarterback sat out 11-on-11 drills during the first few days of training camp. Brissett could play his way to $21 million by reaching incentives.
Brissett sought a raise from the $4.8 million salary he was due on the second year of a two-year deal that he originally signed to be Kyler Murray’s backup. But Brissett took over for an injured Murray last season — and went 1-11 in 12 starts — and wanted to be paid more in line with other starting quarterbacks now that Murray has been released and is in Minnesota.
