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.

Ty Simpson News

Ty Simpson is a Prime Target for Dynasty Rebuilds

Monday, July 6, 11:20 AM

The Los Angeles Rams surprised many when they selected quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Simpson was a productive player for the University of Alabama in 2025, completing 64.5% of his pass attempts for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and five interceptions across 15 games. Still, Los Angeles has the reigning NFL MVP ahead of Simpson on their quarterback depth chart in Matthew Stafford. As long as Stafford stays healthy, Simpson is at least one year and possibly longer from taking over under center for the Rams. However, Stafford is entering his age-38 season and has a history of back issues. Simpson is also in an ideal developmental spot in Los Angeles under Rams head coach Sean McVay. For dynasty managers engaged in a rebuild, targeting Simpson is a logical move.
