why pay "starter money" for that? If they want to give Brissett a bump up to the $8-10 million range, then do it, but there is no reason to go to his "$15 million will get it done" when you are talking about a guy who may start eight games this year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Brissett seeking $15M; Cardinals holding firm at $8-10M range with no leverage.

Brissett is seeking $15 million in contract negotiations, but the Cardinals are unwilling to pay that amount. The team's smart play is to offer only a bump up to the $8-10 million range, given that Brissett has no leverage and the team is projected to be the worst in the NFL this season. Ossenfort must stand his ground in negotiations even as noise grows louder for a raise, because paying "starter money" for a quarterback who may start only eight games makes no financial sense.
