Jacoby Brissett is executing a tepid offseason holdout from voluntary OTAs in pursuit of financial security, but the 33-year-old bridge quarterback holds zero leverage after averaging 16.8 Fantasy Points Per Game (QB16) last season despite a massive, league-leading 41.6 Team Pass Plays Per Game. Arizona’s QB room also features Gardner Minshew, who signed for $5 million in guaranteed, and prototypical pocket passer Carson Beck, who the Cardinals selected in the third round of the NFL Draft.

LaFleur brushed off his absence, saying, “The hardest thing to teach a player is the speed of the game, an NFL game, in general. He’s played a lot of ball, so he’ll be just fine.” Brissett is only guaranteed $1.5 million in 2026, plus a few million in incentives. While Brissett does not profile as a long-term starter, he is comically underpaid for a high-end bridge QB. The rubber will hit the road if he lets this dispute drag past the June 8-10 mandatory minicamp. For now, continue to draft Brissett as a QB3 in best ball and on win-now superflex dynasty rosters.
