Overview
- The trade was finalized on Friday when the Ravens received Jacoby Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round pick in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick.
- Brissett, an 11-year veteran who started eight games for Arizona this season, is expected to be Baltimore’s starter for the Week 10 Monday night game on Nov. 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
- Baltimore made the move after placing Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on injured reserve following their injuries against Buffalo, leaving undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano and short-term options to fill the role.
- Arizona agreed to pay more than half of Brissett’s remaining 2026 salary, making the deal cost-controlled for the Ravens while they swap modest mid-round draft capital.
- Coverage warns the acquisition provides short-term stability but will not by itself fix problems such as offensive-line breakdowns, defensive lapses, poor scoring this month, and the team’s falling playoff odds.
