The Arizona Cardinals have resolved a contract dispute with quarterback Jacoby Brissett by agreeing to a significantly improved pay package for the 2026 NFL season, according to multiple reports. Brissett, who is expected to be the team's starting quarterback next season, had been seeking a pay rise rather than a full contract extension, and the new deal ends any standoff ahead of the campaign.

Under the revised terms, Brissett's base salary rises from $4.88 million to $15.5 million for 2026, with the contract potentially worth up to $21 million once incentives are included. The agreement addresses Brissett's grievance directly through increased compensation rather than a renegotiated multi-year extension.
