 Cardinals' #1 QBOF Target: Brendan Sorsby By Walter Mitchell Yes, the Cardinals have been doing their due diligence on Alabama QB Ty Simpson, imo, in case he's on the board at pick #34 and they would want to see what players are at the top of their board to decide which has the most upside.  That said, the main reason why I believe Monti Ossenfort is not going to draft Ty Simpson is in thanks to the extensive work Monti, Dave Sears and the Cardinals' scouts put in on Cincinnati QB Brendan Sorsby. At the time, they were hoping that Sorsby would declare himself eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft. Instead, he hit the portal as one of the top QBs available and after getting a number of lucrative offers (including a $3.5M offer from Lane Kiffin at LSU, he wound up picking Texas Tech for a rumored $5M. If you watch Brendan Sorsby's highlights at Cincinnati, he looks like a 6'3" 235 version of Josh Allen.  * Dynamic RPO QB who runs fast and tough. * As a passer he has f...

"I'm excited to see what Jacoby can do this year." Hjalte Froholdt. I am too, Fro. photo: CBS Sports By Walter Mitchell Last year, when I first heard that Monti Ossenfort had signed Jacoby Brissett to a 2-year $12.5M contract with $8M guaranteed, I thought it was a poor decision.  Living five minutes from Gillette Stadium and being surrounded by Patriots' fans, I had watched Jacoby's five starts in 2024 and came away feeling unimpressed. The crazy thing was, the Patriots had an excellent chance to be at least 3-2 in those games. Their defense was playing well and the team had 4th quarter leads at home versus the Seahawks and Dolphins, yet Jacoby's play down the stretch in those contests was erratic. Simply put, he couldn't hold the lead. Look at his 2024 stats: 826 yards passing at 59.0 %, 2 TDs, 1 interception, 74.2 RTG at 165.2 yards per game (worst in NFL the first 5 games).  At that point, I was convinced that Jacoby was not ever going to get paid as o...

Jacoby Brissett to Cardinals: "Show me the money" By Walter Mitchell Per the Rap Sheet: Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 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. Brissett, set to make $9.06M in ‘26, has only $1.5M in guaranteed money and wants security. AZ appears willing to address it. My visceral reaction: Walter B J Mitchell @WBJMItch Jacoby Brissett has already made $67M in the NFL. This was his chance to prove he could be a quality starting QB. Missing Phase 1 of the Cardinals' OTAs is unacceptable. He should be betting on himself to earn a handsome extension. His inspired play in 2025 gave him this chance. But he hasn't completely proven himself. Drawing this kind of attention to himself, given his situation, is poor judgment. Contract Notes 2-year (2025-2026), $12,500,000 contract including $3,500,000 signing bonus, $8,000,000 guaranteed $1.5M of 2026 sa...
