Jacoby Brissett Gets Raise, Secures Cardinals' Starting Job

Sunday, July 26, 11:00 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has agreed to revised compensation for 2026, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The new terms are worth $15.5 million, with incentives that could push the total to $21 million. The agreement also locks Brissett in as Arizona's starter after months of uncertainty surrounding his contract and the quarterback depth chart. He had already returned to the field and begun practising at training camp before the deal was completed. Brissett started the final 12 games for the Cardinals last season and appeared in 14 overall, completing 64.9% of his passes for a career-high 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Gardner Minshew II and third-round rookie Carson Beck now sit behind him. The secured starting job keeps Brissett relevant in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, though his value remains tied more to volume than rushing production.

Jalen Hurts News

Jalen Hurts has Safe Floor and League-Winning Potential at Modest Discount

Tuesday, July 21, 6:49 AM

When veterans and rookies report for Philadelphia Eagles training camp at the end of the month, it will be quarterback Jalen Hurts' first extended opportunity to build chemistry with his new receiving corps. In trading away three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown, the Eagles are relying on a number of new faces to fill the ranks alongside incumbents DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert in an effort to rebound from a shaky 2025 offensive outing. Veterans Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown join rookies Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers in what could be a more balanced passing attack that allows Hurts to spread the ball around. Regardless of any criticism he's faced in recent years, Hurts has never failed to deliver for fantasy, finishing as the QB9 or better in each of the past five seasons despite playing under four different offensive coordinators in that span. Hurts is RotoBaller's QB6 in 2026, but in a year where so many different quarterbacks elicit strong reactions from the fantasy community, he has been seen regularly slipping into the later rounds of drafts, making him a near can't-miss pick with one of the safest floors at the position.
