Breer noted that everything appears to be on the table, including a firing, a negotiated exit or a fifth season in the desert.
The team's performance since he took over as head coach in the middle of the season has put him in a tough spot.
The only winning season that the Cards have had in the last four years was in the 2021 season. Under the 43-year-old, Arizona has only made the playoffs once.
The Cards will play the 49ers in Week 18 with a 4-12 record. They're dealing with a lot of injuries and have been one of the worst teams in the league.
