Jacoby Brissett News
Sunday, June 21, 11:36 AM
When the Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback Jacoby Brissett to a two-year, $12.5 million deal in 2025, it was presumably to serve as the backup to two-time Pro Bowler Kyler. With the relationship between Murray and the Cardinals deteriorating shortly after that, Brissett ended up starting the final 12 games of the 2025 season and now finds himself as a bridge quarterback for either 2026 third-round pick Carson Beck or whoever the team hands the reins to in 2027. Seeking a guaranteed commitment in line with the elevated role, Brissett skipped all voluntary offseason activities and did not participate in team drills during mandatory minicamp. While a lot can still happen in the three months leading up to the Cardinals' Week 1 matchup with the Chargers, only a full split from the team would drastically alter Brissett's dynasty value ahead of the 2026 season. Brissett is 33 years old and potentially holding the final starting opportunity of his career, and with the Cardinals signing running back Tyler Allgeier in free agency and spending the third pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Jeremiyah Love, it's unlikely that he sees the type of passing volume he did a year ago. Still a usable second or third quarterback in superflex leagues, Brissett is RotoBaller's dynasty QB31.

Baker Mayfield News
Friday, June 12, 9:26 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Thursday that there is "absolutely no question" he wants veteran quarterback Baker Mayfield around long term, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN. Mayfield said just last week that he and the team are "not anywhere close to what we were thinking" as he seeks a new deal going into the final year of his three-year, $100 million deal. The 31-year-old wants a new deal done before the start of training camp at the end of July. If a deal isn't reached by then, Mayfield and his agent, Tom Mills, plan to shut down negotiations and focus on the 2026 season. If no deal is struck during or after the season, Mayfield would become an unrestricted free agent in 2027. Mayfield led Tampa to back-to-back NFC South titles in 2023 and 2024 immediately after Tom Brady retired. The team has gone 27-24 with Mayfield as their starter, and he was a Pro Bowler in both 2023 and 2024 while throwing for over 4,000 yards in both seasons. He took a step back last year, though, throwing for 3,693 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 picks in 17 starts. Mayfield's fantasy stock is down entering his ninth NFL season due to durability concerns and the fact that he lost his top wideout, future Hall of Famer Mike Evans, in free agency. RotoBaller currently has Mayfield ranked as the No. 20 QB for the 2026 campaign.
