What is the story about?

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett got a big raise this offseason, as he was given a new contract worth $15.5 million for 2026, as he went from being the Cardinals' backup quarterback to being their starter. With the Cardinals' season-opening win, he also got paid.

He earned a $285,000 bonus.

His contract has $5.5 million in incentives available. He earns $285,000 for every win (up to 10) in which he plays at least 50% of the snaps. He played every one of the Cardinals' 75 offensive snaps on Sunday.

The Cardinals are not projected to win many games, but they were the biggest underdogs of the week on Sunday.

He passed for 277 yards and a touchdown, and he did not turn the ball over.

Perhaps he will be able to make a little more money than

expected!
