Jacoby Brissett wants some more money from the Arizona Cardinals.

The Cardinals let Kyler Murray go this offseason, which leaves Brissett and Gardner Minshew as their quarterbacks. The Cardinals could also use their No. 3 overall pick in the NFL Draft on a QB. Until that point, Brissett’s representatives are trying to squeeze more money out of the Cardinals.

NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported on Friday that Brissett is not attending the first phase of the Cardinals’ offseason as the quarterback seeks more money.

Sources: #AZCardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is not attending Phase 1 of the offseason program and is asking for an extension that pays him as the starter.

The Cardinals may be reluctant to give Brissett more money. Even if they begin the season with him as their starter, they do not appear to have him locked in as their QB1.

Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort said Thursday regarding the starting quarterback position that the team is “not really naming anybody and we’ll see how that room works by the time we get to August.”

Brissett started 12 games for the Cardinals last season, and the team went 1-11 in those starts. He passed for 3,366 yards with 23 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. His stats are respectable on the surface, but NFL teams are not going to be winning many games with Brissett at QB.
