Revenge of the Birds on Jacoby Brissett
From the article
Jacoby Brissett showed up and was relegated to light work due to offseason inactivity with the team... the Cardinals spoke loudly by slotting in Minshew with the first-team at the start of the drills. The message: We may give you a few bucks, Jacoby, but nothing close to what you want.
STACKED’s take
Brissett relegated to light work; Cardinals signaling Minshew preference undermines starter status.
Brissett showed up to training camp and was relegated to light work due to offseason inactivity with the team. The Cardinals signaled organizational preference for Gardner Minshew by slotting him with the first-team at the start of drills, sending a message that Brissett has no leverage in contract negotiations. The team looked everywhere for a replacement, then drafted Carson Beck, and only then begrudgingly made it seem like Brissett may be the starter. Brissett would need to start at least six games, keep them competitive, and win some to hold off changes; if the Cardinals are 1-5 or worse, calls for a quarterback change will grow louder. The team is unwilling to pay "starter money" for a player who may start only eight games this season.
