Jacoby Brissett Works Out With Teammates Amid Contract Dispute

Thursday, July 9, 6:26 PM

Arizona Cardinals veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett hasn't taken part in organized team workouts this offseason as he works through a contract dispute with the organization, but that hasn't stopped him from working out with some of his teammates in a private setting, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Brissett posted on his Instagram recently after a workout with receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Simi Fehoko, tight ends Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins, and quarterback Kedon Slovis. Despite the uncertainty about Brissett's contract situation, he's expected to be Arizona's Week 1 starter under center in new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense in early September. The 33-year-old had a career year in 2025 in his 10th year in the league after taking over for the injured Kyler Murray, throwing for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in a pass-happy offense. He established great chemistry with McBride and receiver Michael Wilson, but pass-game volume is expected to fall under LaFleur in 2026. And if Brissett struggles, there could be pressure to give rookie Carson Beck a look. Coming off a career year with regression expected, Brissett should go undrafted in single-QB, 12-team fantasy leagues. RotoBaller has Brissett ranked as the QB27 going into the 2026 campaign.

Trevor Lawrence Trying to Become More Efficient Deep Down the Field

Thursday, June 25, 8:41 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had his best season as a pro in 2025 in head coach Liam Coen's first year with the team. The 26-year-old former first overall pick in 2021 out of the University of Clemson went 13-4 in the regular season in 2025 with 4,007 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 17 starts. He added a career-high 359 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 82 carries. Lawrence finished sixth in the league in passing yards and fifth in passing touchdowns. Expectations are now high in 2026 for a repeat in Coen's offense, and RotoBaller has Lawrence ranked just inside the top-10 fantasy QBs. With a strong offensive scheme helping him and plenty of weapons in the passing game, Lawrence is set up for success, but he's been working hard this offseason to try to improve as a deep passer and to improve his chemistry with receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who had a down sophomore campaign. Lawrence completed just 36.1% of passes 20-plus yards down the field in 2025. If Lawrence and the Jags can improve their efficiency downfield, a true breakout for the signal-caller could be coming.
