Jacoby Brissett is “holding in” at Cardinals training camp, refusing to fully participate while waiting for a contract upgrade that reflects his new role as the team’s expected starter — a move made tougher by the 2020 CBA, which limits player holdouts. Signed as a backup, Brissett now demands starter-level pay, currently earning $6.5M, with whispers of a $19.5M deal being realistic. New head coach Mike LaFleur expected Brissett to be ready for drills, but the QB’s leverage may grow as camp progresses — though missing key time with the new staff could hurt his preparation. The Cardinals face a tough call: settle the deal before it becomes a distraction or risk losing valuable prep time.
