"After Arizona released Murray in March, Brissett was not told he'd be the starter in 2026, a source told ESPN. According to NFL Network, the Cardinals appear willing to address Brissett's desire for a new deal."
"On Thursday, during Arizona's annual pre-draft press conference, neither general manager Monti Ossenfort nor head coach Mike LaFleur would not commit to a starter. 'We're not really naming anybody and we'll see how that room looks by the time we get [to] August,' Ossenfort said."
Jacoby Brissett, the Cardinals' incumbent starter, is not attending the offseason program as he awaits a new deal. He has a base salary of $4.88 million for 2026, with only $1.5 million guaranteed.
