The Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Jacoby Brissett have reached agreement on a reworked contract that will pay him $15.5 million guaranteed this season with the chance to make $21 million with incentives, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.
Brissett, Arizona's presumptive starter under new coach Mike LaFleur, had skipped most of the team's voluntary offseason program and was a hold-in for mandatory minicamp as he requested a restructuring of his contract. However, he participated in the team's first training camp practice Thursday.
Brissett was in the second year of a two-year deal that was scheduled to pay him $4.88 million in base salary. No new years were added to his contract with Sunday's restructuring, so he is still scheduled to become a free agent after this season.
He finished last season with 3,366 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts).
