GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Jacoby Brissett 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.
He did not receive any more years on his deal and is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after the season. Brissett had never set out to add more years to the two-year contract he signed in 2025, a source had told ESPN.
"It's good. Happy for him. Happy for our team. It was productive. For it to get done now, sooner than rather than later, it's good," Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said Sunday.
Brissett took 11-on-11 reps Sunday for the first time this training camp. LaFleur said Brissett will start taking reps with the first-team offense Tuesday, when the team returns from its day off and starts its second block of training camp.
"It felt good to be back out there," Brissett said. "Obviously just standing around wasn't particularly fun, but it was a good first day."
LaFleur wouldn't commit to Brissett starting Week 1 when the Cardinals visit the Los Angeles Chargers, just that he'll start taking first-team reps.
With his raise (before the potential incentives), Brissett is now the fourth-lowest-paid quarterback in the NFL in terms of take-home salary, moving up one spot from his initial contract.
Brissett was in the second year of a two-year deal that was scheduled to pay him $4.88 million in base salary with only $1.5 million guaranteed.
After not attending Arizona's voluntary offseason OTAs and minicamp, and holding in during the mandatory minicamp in June, Brissett reported to training camp Wednesday. But the 33-year-old Brissett did not participate in 11-on-11 drills, taking part only during the individual portion of practice.
"It's business. It's part of this game. And being here, obviously wanting to be out there with the guys ... that causes another stressor," Brissett said. "But just glad it's over with and moving forward."
Negotiations for Brissett's reworked contract took months to get across the finish line. In May, the two sides were "significantly" far apart on a reworked deal, a source told ESPN. Even as recently as the weeks leading up to training camp, there wasn't much progress toward a reworked contract, a source told ESPN.
"Nothing is guaranteed, nothing is given in this league," said Brissett, who does not have an agent but said he does work with a team. "So you wake up -- just like the football aspect of getting up and one day at a time -- you do the same thing with the business side of it. And you're honest with the people that you're conversating with.
"And I think it's just obviously knowing who you are as a person, as a player ... just having the respect for yourself I think plays a big part in it."
Asked about whether the negotiation process was challenging, Brissett acknowledged, "It definitely got dark a couple times. But ... just trusting myself to be able to still get up and go to work and go train and things of that nature. ... I wasn't here, but I still had ears here, I still was talking to some guys here. So it made me feel a little bit more included."
Assuming Brissett is the Cardinals' starting quarterback in Week 1, he'll become the 12th quarterback in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) to make a season-opening start for four or more different franchises, according to ESPN Research.
Brissett finished last season with 3,366 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts).
