Colt McCoy Retires From NFL, Joins NBC Sports For Big Ten Coverage

Monday, August 19, 11:54 AM

Former NFL quarterback Colt McCoy has announced his retirement and will join NBC Sports for its Big Ten college football coverage. McCoy, a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist during his college career at Texas, set an NCAA Division I record with 45 career wins as a four-year starter from 2006 to 2009. He led the Longhorns to the BCS National Championship game in 2010, capping off a perfect 12-0 regular season with a Big 12 title. Drafted in the third round by the Cleveland Browns in 2010, McCoy amassed an 11-25 record over his 36 NFL starts. His final NFL stint was with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023, where he played in two preseason games before being released due to elbow issues. Over his career, McCoy also played for the New York Giants, Washington Commanders, San Francisco 49ers, and Cleveland Browns, finishing with 7,975 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and 32 interceptions in 56 games.

Jacoby Brissett News

Cardinals Haven't Told Jacoby Brissett he's the Starting QB

Tuesday, March 10, 3:15 PM

If the Arizona Cardinals plan to start veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett again in 2026, they "have yet to make him aware of those plans," according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. The Cardinals have not told Brissett that he will be their starting QB in 2026, according to a source. He is still under contract for this year and is scheduled to make $4.88 million. Arizona has moved on from former first overall pick Kyler Murray (foot), and they signed veteran Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal on Monday, but Brissett is expected to remain under center after impressing in 2025. The 33-year-old became an unlikely QB streamer in fantasy football after taking over the Cardinals offense in Week 6, ultimately finishing with a career-best 3,366 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts). New head coach Mike LaFleur will likely make the Cardinals offense more balanced in 2026, though, making it more unlikely that Brissett will have the kind of upside he had in 2025.
