Considering the reported chasm between the parties, it’s worth wondering if LaFleur will be faced with similar questions about the signal-caller when the Cardinals hold mandatory minicamp from June 8-10.<\/p>\n
Brissett seeking an extension that better compensates him comes after he started 12 games for the Cardinals last season. He played perhaps the best ball of his career, completing 64.9 percent of his attempts for a career-high 3,366 yards and 23 touchdowns with just eight interceptions. He eclipsed 300 passing yards in a third of his starts, made Michael Wilson<\/a> look like a budding superstar with the wide receiver’s first 1,000-yard campaign and helped elevate Trey McBride<\/a> to the top of the tight end ladder.<\/p>\n However, wins didn’t follow. Brissett went 1-11 and the Cardinals finished the season with a 3-14 record.<\/p>\n Arizona has since signed Gardner Minshew<\/a>, another veteran capable of sparking an offense off the bench, and drafted<\/a> Carson Beck<\/a> in the third round of the 2026 draft. Those two have been able to work through the initial stages of LaFleur’s offensive install on the field as Brissett has stayed away.<\/p>\n It remains to be seen how much leverage Brissett truly has, a major factor in negotiations that should become clearer in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Considering the reported chasm between the parties, it’s worth wondering if LaFleur will be faced with similar questions…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":687770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[1745,10949,49,48,99839,44,514,2208,10950,82],"class_list":["post-687769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-arizona-cardinals","tag-around-the-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-jacoby-brissett","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-no-minute","tag-offseason-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=687769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/687770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=687769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=687769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=687769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
