-- The Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Jacoby Brissett have reached agreement on a reworked contract that will pay him $15.5 million guaranteed this season with the chance to make $21 million with incentives, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday. Brissett had never set out to add more years to the two-year contract he signed in 2025, a source had told ESPN. LaFleur said Brissett will start taking reps with the first-team offense Tuesday, when the team returns from its day off and starts its second block of training camp. He wouldn't commit to Brissett starting Week 1 when the Cardinals visit the Los Angeles Chargers, just that he'll start taking first-team reps. Brissett was in the second year of a two-year deal that was scheduled to pay him $4.88 million in base salary with just $1.5 million guaranteed. Even as recently as the weeks leading up to training camp, there wasn't much progress toward a reworked contract, a source told ESPN.
