The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to take on a portion of quarterback Jacoby Brissett's remaining contract, according to a report from Cardinals Wire. The move suggests a potential trade or roster adjustment involving the veteran signal-caller.
Brissett, who has started 48 games over his NFL career with multiple franchises, joined the Cardinals earlier this offseason. The financial details of the salary assumption were not immediately disclosed, but the arrangement indicates Arizona is facilitating a transaction that could send Brissett to another team or adjust his current cap hit.
The Cardinals' quarterback room currently features Kyler Murray as the established starter, with Brissett serving as the primary backup. Any move involving Brissett's contract would likely be aimed at creating salary-cap flexibility or acquiring draft capital.
