The expectation for most of the offseason has been that Jacoby Brissett will hold that job, but he skipped the voluntary portion of the team\u2019s program as he looks for a contract that reflects that standing. Brissett avoided a fine by showing up to this week\u2019s mandatory minicamp, but didn\u2019t practice. <\/p>\n<p>Gardner Minshew handled first-team work with third-round pick Carson Beck and Kedon Slovis also on hand, but head coach Mike LaFleur said he\u2019s not interested in making any pronouncements for Week 1 at this point. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azcardinals.com\/news\/cardinals-minicamp-over-mike-lafleur-not-dwelling-on-qb1-in-june\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">really concerned<\/a> about QB1 right now,\u201d LaFleur said, via the team\u2019s website. \u201cI\u2019m concerned about these guys reporting. Really, I\u2019m concerned about them for the next 40 days and what they are doing . . . you can\u2019t take steps backwards, and that\u2019s not just the quarterbacks. That\u2019s all these guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LaFleur said the team will continue conversations with Brissett and having him as a full participant when camp opens would be a good step toward establishing the pecking order in Arizona. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cardinals wrapped up their offseason program on Wednesday with a significant blank spot on their depth chart.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":697896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-697895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=697895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/697896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=697895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=697895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=697895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
