Overview
- Baltimore traded a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick to Arizona and received Jacoby Brissett plus a 2027 fifth-round pick in the deal.
- Brissett will make his Ravens debut as the starter on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers and has been fast-tracking the playbook this week.
- Coaches and teammates have praised Brissett’s veteran leadership and communication, noting extra after-practice throwing sessions to build timing with receivers.
- The move followed injuries that put Lamar Jackson on injured reserve with a thumb injury and sidelined Tyler Huntley for the season, forcing Baltimore to use a fourth starting QB this year.
- Baltimore is 4-5 and on a four-game skid, so Brissett is viewed as a short-term, game-manager solution whose efficiency with quick passes and reliance on the run will shape the team’s playoff prospects.
