The Arizona Cardinals have settled on their leadership group for the 2026 season. Coach Mike LaFleur named five team captains Monday, with quarterback Jacoby Brissett included.
Josh Weinfuss (@joshweinfuss): Mike LaFleur said the Cardinals’ captains are: - Jacoby Brissett - Hjalte Froholdt - Budda Baker - Mack Wilson, Sr. - Casey Kreiter
Brissett headlines a group that pairs the team's quarterback with its established veterans. Safety Budda Baker and linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. lead from the defensive side, while Hjalte Froholdt and Casey Kreiter round out the five.
The captaincy is a notable acknowledgment for Brissett, who has been throwing to a receiving corps headlined by Michael Wilson as Arizona builds its offense. LaFleur's selections come as the team finalizes preparations for Sunday's opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
