Arizona Cardinals incumbent starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett is not attending the start of the team’s offseason program as he awaits a new contract, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.
The veteran quarterback is reportedly seeking a new deal before participating in team activities. As the Cardinals begin their voluntary offseason workouts, the absence of their primary signal-caller is a notable development for the franchise. Brissett has served as the team's leader under center, and his decision to stay away from the facility emphasizes the current gap in contract negotiations between his representation and the organization.
While these early spring sessions are technically voluntary, the participation of a starting quarterback is typically expected for offensive installation and team leadership purposes. The Arizona Cardinals front office has not yet released an official statement regarding the holdout or the current status of negotiations with Brissett.
