Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cardinals fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Happy Monday one and all.
The Arizona Cardinals are on a slight break before training camp picks up in July, and the Arizona Cardinals get a couple days extra of work since they are part of the Hall of Fame Game this year in the preseason.
Now the question that is outstanding for
the Arizona Cardinals, what is happening with Jacoby Brissett?
We know he has held out all of voluntary OTA’s and held-in during mandatory minicamp, meaning he was there and did nothing, while he waits for a new contract that pays him as the starter.
While the Cardinals have not publicly said he is the starter, it was reported by Josh Weinfuss and later John Gambadoro that the Cardinals are going with Brissett.
So, we asked, would how much would you change things contract wise for Brissett? The results really surprised me:
Fans are fine giving Brissett a slight bump, raise him up to $10 million(ish) and guarantee it, and let’s move foward.
I actually am shocked that fans would only want to slightly bump or keep Brissett at the same salary, but it makes sense.
He was given an opportunity and had a modicum of success statistically, but was also the quarterback of a team that went 1-11 with him starting and lost nine straight games.
Right now, our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook have the odds of Brissett starting game one at -350, with Gardner Minshew at +420 and Carson Beck at +700. The Cardinals are not favored in a single game this season either. What is that worth
