The Arizona Cardinals are in training camp with Jacoby Brissett negotiating a contract extension and no formal Week 1 starter named, while Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck also compete for roles behind Brissett. Brissett’s absence from much of the offseason program and the ongoing extension talks are presented as factors shaping the quarterback competition. Beck has signed a four-year, $7.4 million rookie contract under the rookie wage scale, reinforcing his development role behind the incumbent. The team has now signed all of its 2026 draft picks, including Beck, highlighting a focus on rebuilding around a contested quarterback situation rather than quick stability. The narrative emphasizes a development-driven approach and the potential for changes in the QB depth chart based on camp performance. The existing QB room is portrayed as a mix of veteran experience and rookie development, with Brissett’s contract status acting as a subplot.
