Ravens complete Jacoby Brissett trade from the Cardinals with pick swap terms set
Baltimore finalized a trade for Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett sending a 2027 fourth and 2028 seventh for Brissett and a 2027 fifth.
Baltimore's quarterback carousel finally has a veteran name on it.
The Ravens completed a trade Friday for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett after both clubs confirmed the deal and the compensation.
Baltimore sends a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick to Arizona for Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round selection.
Salary help included
The Cardinals also covered more than half of Brissett's remaining 2026 salary as part of the swap. Arizona had converted a portion of that money into a signing bonus before the trade closed.
Brissett is expected to start for the Ravens (4-5) against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football in Week 10 after Baltimore dropped a 33-10 decision to Jacksonville on Thursday with undrafted Joe Fagnano under center.
Why the move now
Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are both on injured reserve. Brissett started Arizona's first eight games this season before Gardner Minshew II took over and Carson Beck moved into the backup job.
In eight starts Brissett completed 63.3% of his passes for 1719 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The Ravens also waived Austin Reed to clear a roster spot.
