After going 1-11 in 12 starts for the Cardinals in 2025, quarterback Jacoby Brissett<\/a><\/strong> has been staying away from team activities as he attempts to land a starter-level extension. According to NFL insider Jason La Canfora, though, Brissett will more likely end up being a trade candidate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With Brissett in line for Year 2 and a backup passer with starting experience in Gardner Minshew<\/a><\/strong>, many thought Arizona would spend the first year of new head coach Mike LaFleur<\/strong> tanking its way to as high a draft pick as possible in 2027 in an attempt to land the best of a better crop of quarterbacks than what was available this year. It was presumed that the Cardinals would utilize this year\u2019s draft to bring in a number of strong supporting pieces to prop up their future rookie starter.<\/p>\n

Instead, the team took an interestingly different route. When they reportedly were unable to find an offer they deemed worthy of trading out of the No. 3 overall pick for, they opted to select RB1 Jeremiyah Love<\/a><\/strong>. They did get around to landing a plug-and-play starting guard at the top of the second round in Chase Bisontis<\/a><\/strong>, but with the first pick of the third round, the Cardinals shocked a number of analysts by drafting Miami quarterback Carson Beck<\/a><\/strong>, the third passer to come off the board in the 2026 draft class.<\/p>\n

Though he heard his name called two rounds after first overall pick Fernando Mendoza<\/a><\/strong>, who beat him head-to-head in the College Football Playoff national championship game four months ago, Beck\u2019s six years in college had some evaluators believing he was the most pro-ready passer in the class. Once Beck was wearing a red hat, an NFL general manager reportedly told La Canfora that Arizona would \u201cmove Brissett by the (trade) deadline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even if Brissett isn\u2019t traded away immediately, the theory seems clear. If this GM is correct, at some point, Beck would take over as the starter. As a third-round, pro-ready prospect with the top rookie running back and an improved offensive line, there\u2019s a chance Beck could find success and show potential as the team\u2019s future at the position. If such a hypothetical ends up being too far out of reach to become reality and Beck\u2019s starting run leads them to a poor record and a high draft pick, then the Cardinals would be perfectly in line to draft a first-round quarterback in 2027.<\/p>\n

Fueling that idea a bit further, recent whispers that veteran free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong> may be considering Arizona as a future home appear to be nothing more than rumors. ESPN\u2019s Josh Weinfuss reached out to a source<\/a> recently to gauge the reality of this possibility, and his source claimed it was \u201cnot at all\u201d real. If Rodgers stays away and Brissett gets shipped out, Beck may end up starting as a rookie as the Cardinals make moves to find their QB for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After going 1-11 in 12 starts for the Cardinals in 2025, quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been staying away…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":776538,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[2390,7140,22241,1318,152067,1317,1315,1316,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-776537","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-aaron-rodgers","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-carson-beck","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-jacoby-brissett","13":"tag-ncaa","14":"tag-ncaa-football","15":"tag-ncaafootball","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116525913224365727","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=776537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/776538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=776537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=776537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=776537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
