With Kyler Murray's tenure with the Cardinals coming to an end earlier this offseason, fans were curious about what would come next for the franchise at quarterback. Now, they have a definitive answer – and one that fans of the franchise are already pretty familiar with.
According to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss, the franchise has informed Jacoby Brissett that he will be the Cardinals' starting quarterback next season. Furthermore, the franchise is negotiating with Brissett to adjust his contract to reflect his role on the team.
Brissett inherited the role from Murray last season after Murray was sidelined for the year with an injury in Week 5. Brissett was unable to help the franchise find much success, going 1-11 as a starter. But he did pass for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions, which left enough of an impression on the front office and incoming head coach Mike LaFleur to want to keep him around amidst Jonathon Gannon's firing.
Brissett will be backed up by veteran Gardner Minshew and third-round 2026 NFL Draft selection Carson Beck in Arizona's quarterback room. But it appears that, as of now, the starting role is his to lose, and he should have an improved roster around him to make his life easier than it was a year ago.
