Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is signed through the 2029 season, so he has good reason to be interested in who will be doing the quarterbacking in Arizona over the coming years.
Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew are the veteran options heading into 2026, but Brissett’s absence from most of the offseason program left plenty of work for Minshew and third-round pick Carson Beck. The prospect of striking gold with Beck is an appealing one for the Cardinals and McBride was asked for his early impressions of the rookie during an appearance on Bussin’ With the Boys.
“He’s huge. He looks like a tight end,” McBride said. “I’m like s—t, bigger than me, you know? But, no, he’s a stud. He throws the ball really well. I think he has a chance to be a really good player in this league. . . . I don’t know about Week 1 unless something crazy happens, but he definitely has a chance to be a guy for sure.”
The Cardinals took running back Jeremiyah Love in the first round this April and they’ll have a core that involves Love, McBride and Beck in place for several years if everything can break their way this fall.
