The Cardinals are sending QB Jacoby Brissett to the Ravens in a trade that "is expected to be completed this weekend," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That timing is important because Baltimore plays Jacksonville on Thursday night.

Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur announced Monday that the team will stick with Gardner Minshew as the starter going forwar, according to multiple reports. He added that the team will elevate rookie Carson Beck to the backup role, which would mean demoting Jacoby Brissett all the way to the emergency third-QB spot.

Gardner Minshew took over for struggling QB Jacoby Brissett late in the third quarter, helping lead the Cardinals to a shocking fourth-quarter comeback over the Cowboys. Minshew erased a 14-point deficit, completing 17 of 23 pass attempts for 188 yards and 3 TDs to finish as QB10 pending Sunday- and Monday Night Football.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett was benched with a little under 2 minutes to go in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He threw for just 119 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT before getting the hook. QB Gardner Minshew has replaced Brissett. Rookie QB Carson Beck, who's been dealing with a back injury, is the emergency third QB.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett threw for a season-high 292 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He completed 29 of 47 passes (61.7%) and added his fifth INT of the year, while also taking a season-high 5 sacks. The INT actually came on a pointless hail mary at the end of the first half that came down at Detroit's 15-yard line. But that doesn't mean Brissett had a better outing than the numbers suggest.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will be INACTIVE this Sunday against the Lions as the team has been actively negotiating a trade with him. It appears a deal is imminent (likely occurring between Sunday-Tuesday this week). But the team continues to take offers it appears and may be in negotiations with multiple teams. ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes that the Houston Texans are in the mix which would pair Harrison back with his college QB C.J. Stroud, but that is not announced or finalized at this point.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett skipped most of the team’s off-season program as he requested a new deal. The team and Brissett came to an agreement in the final year of his two-year deal. He will be paid $15.5 million with a chance to reach $21 million with incentives. Brissett was scheduled to make $4.88 million this year before the agreement. He's now the Cardinals' starter for 2026.

The Cardinals selected Miami QB Carson Beck in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. A former four-star recruit, Beck started at Georgia in 2023 and 2024. He thrived in 2023 alongside Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey, throwing for 3,941 yards with 24 TDs and 6 INTs. His play slipped in 2024, with 12 INTs and an elbow injury that required surgery. Beck transferred to Miami for 2025 and rebounded, leading the Hurricanes to a national title appearance while posting 3,813 yards, 30 TDs, and 12 INTs. The efficiency profile is mixed. Among 15 Combine QBs, he tied for second in adjusted completion rate (79.0%) but ranked 12th in aDOT (7.6), 11th in Big Time Throw rate (3.3%), and 14th in rushing production. At 23, Beck enters the league as a polished pocket passer without much rushing upside.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that QB Jacoby Brissett is skipping "Phase 1" of the Cardinals' offseason program while seeking a new contract.

The Cardinals are signing QB Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal, according to multiple reports. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero says it's a $5.75 million pact that could be worth as much as $8 million.

The Cardinals will release QB Kyler Murray when the new league year starts on Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's barring a trade happening before now and then -- which won't. Arizona owes Murray $36.8 million guaranteed in 2026, and another $19.5 million for 2017 would have triggered on March 15 if Murray was still on the roster. So this move has been expected for a while.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray will not return this season, according to HC Jonathan Gannon. Gannon commented that Murray isn’t progressing as the team hoped and thus will not be available at all this season. Murray suffered a mid-foot injury in Week 5 and was placed on IR on November 5th. Jacoby Brissett will QB the team for the rest of the season.

Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon said Monday that QB Kyler Murray (foot) will not be designated to return from IR and practice this week. So he's out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. QB Jacoby Brissett will make his eighth straight start in that one. He's finished as a top-12 fantasy QB in each of his first seven starts of the season. Sunday will be his toughest test yet against the Rams' sixth-ranked QB defense.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett threw for 301 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. He added 16 yards on three rushes. Brissett enters the Sunday night game as the QB8 for Week by ESPN scoring.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed an NFL-record 47 passes in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Brissett attempted 57 throws in the lopsided defeat, logging 32 of those in the second half. His team didn't fall quite as hopelessly behind San Francisco as it did Seattle the week before. But the Niners did score the first 13 points of the game and lead 25-10 at the half. Brissett went 20-of-25 passing before the break. He finished with 452 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 INTs. Brissett sits third among fantasy QBs for the week ahead of Monday night's game.
