Washington’s 2026 outlook depends heavily on Jayden Daniels staying healthy and playing well, a factor tied to the franchise’s rise from last place to the NFC Championship in his rookie season. Before that turnaround, the team relied on a mix of misfits and failed acquisitions. In Arizona, Jacoby Brissett was not present for OTAs and is reportedly holding out for more money while expected to start in 2026. Gardner Minshew’s presence keeps negotiations in gridlock. New head coach Mike LaFleur said there has been contact with Brissett and his representatives but provided no details. Brissett is in the final year of a two-year deal with limited guaranteed money, and his current salary cap number is viewed as low for a projected starter. The Cardinals are expected to struggle again, positioning them to draft a top quarterback in 2027.
"Brissett is in the final season of his two-year agreement with Arizona. He's counting $9.19 million against the salary cap, but only $1.5 million of that is guaranteed. The Cardinals released Kyler Murray earlier this offseason after no willing trade suitor emerged. That puts the former Commanders backup in the driver's seat, and he wants to be paid like it."
