GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) --- Quarterback Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals
agreed to a reworked one-year deal on Sunday and coach Mike LaFleur confirmed
that the veteran is the team's likely starter for Week 1.
Brissett, 33, was unhappy with his previous contract, which included just $1.5
million of guaranteed money for the upcoming season. His new deal is worth a
reported $15.5 million.
Brissett was the team's starter for the final 12 games last year after Kyler
Murray suffered a season-ending foot injury. He did well individually with
3,366 yards passing, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions, but the Cardinals
had a 1-11 record in those games.
LaFleur confirmed that Brissett's deal was done before Sunday's practice and
said that the veteran would begin working with the starters soon. The team's
other main options at quarterback are veteran Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson
Beck.
The Cardinals open the preseason Aug. 6 against the Carolina Panthers in the
Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio.
