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.

Trevor Lawrence "Significantly Ahead" of Where He Was Last Year

Saturday, August 1, 6:25 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has had three different offensive coordinators in his five-year career, but entering his second season with Grant Udinski in that position and head coach Liam Coen calling plays, the continuity appears to be paying dividends. The team's editorial staff reports that through three days of training camp practices, Lawrence and the offense are "significantly ahead of where they were this time last season." Lawrence finished 2025 playing arguably the best football of his professional career, pacing as the fantasy QB1 over the final 10 weeks while earning MVP consideration, and early reports would indicate he's picked up right where he left off. The Jaguars boast one of the league's deepest groups of pass catchers, and with Coen unlocking his rushing abilities, as he had with Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay, Lawrence has one of the highest ceilings at the position. In a year where waiting to select a quarterback makes as much sense as ever, Lawrence is a player to target in the later rounds of 2026 drafts, currently coming off the board around QB11.
