Cardinals Delay Naming Starting Quarterback
The Arizona Cardinals are delaying the decision on their starting quarterback for the upcoming season. Despite speculation surrounding Jacoby Brissett, the team has not confirmed any starter yet.
Quarterback Dynamics in Arizona
Jacoby Brissett ended last season as the Cardinals’ starting quarterback. However, he has not received any official communication regarding his position for the upcoming season. This uncertainty follows the early offseason release of former quarterback Kyler Murray.
Press Conference Insights
General Manager Monti Ossenfort addressed the media on Thursday. He emphasized that the team is not ready to name a starting quarterback yet. “We’ll see how that room works by the time we get to August,” he stated, hinting at ongoing evaluations.
Focus on Team Development
Head coach Mike LaFleur added that the team is prioritizing foundational work over depth chart decisions. Currently, both Brissett and new signing Gardner Minshew are concentrating on the team’s system rather than their positions. LaFleur expressed confidence in both quarterbacks, recognizing their extensive playing experience in the league.
