Jacoby Brissett News
Thursday, May 28, 12:26 PM
Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur is unbothered and unconcerned by quarterback Jacoby Brissett's absence from OTAs, per Grant Gordon of NFL.com. The veteran signal-caller is entering the final season of his two-year, $12.5 million contract with the Cardinals and is agitating for a new deal. While Brissett has largely operated as a backup to this point in his 10-season NFL career, he currently sits atop the Arizona depth chart. Brissett also performed well after taking over as the Cardinals' QB1 in Week 6 of 2025, throwing for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions across 14 games (12 starts). While it's unlikely that Arizona views the 33-year-old Brissett as its quarterback of the future, he profiles as one of the better stopgap options in the league and would certainly outperform his current contract on the open market. The quarterbacks behind Brissett on the Cardinals depth chart are veteran journeyman Gardner Minshew II and 2026 third-round pick Carson Beck.

Lamar Jackson News
Wednesday, May 27, 5:37 PM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he "absolutely" wants to stay with the Ravens long-term, according to Giana Han of The Baltimore Banner. Owner Steve Bisciotti said the team wanted to sign the two-time MVP to a contract extension before the start of free agency in March, but general manager Eric DeCosta later said they "ran out of time" and were forced to restructure Jackson's contract instead. Baltimore lowered the 29-year-old's 2026 salary cap hit to $34.39 million by restructuring his contract, but his 2027 cap hit will increase to $84.34 million. Jackson didn't answer whether he wants to bet on himself and play out this season, and was mum on the details of his contract talks with the front office. The former 32nd overall pick back in 2018 out of Louisville is coming off an injury-plagued and disappointing 2025 campaign, but he appears motivated and re-energized while learning new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's scheme for the upcoming season. As long as he stays on the field, Jackson is an easy QB bounce-back candidate, and he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 2 QB in single-year fantasy formats.
