Ravens Trade for Jacoby Brissett to Fill Quarterback Void

The move buys Baltimore an experienced short-term starter and signals the team will try to compete through the Nov. 10 trade deadline rather than sell assets.

Overview

  • The Ravens finalized the trade on Friday, acquiring veteran Jacoby Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round pick in exchange for a 2027 fourth-rounder and a 2028 seventh-rounder.
  • Multiple reports say the Cardinals agreed to pay more than half of Brissett’s remaining 2026 salary to make the deal work for Baltimore.
  • Brissett, a 33-year-old with 11 NFL seasons and about 73 career starts, is expected to be the Ravens’ Week 10 starter on Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers on Nov. 16.
  • Baltimore made the move after placing Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on injured reserve and dropping to 4-5 during a four-game losing streak with persistent offensive-line and scoring problems.
  • Team officials and analysts call Brissett a stopgap who can stabilize play and give the Ravens time to evaluate the roster, but they warn the addition does not fix deeper offensive and defensive issues that have hurt the team’s playoff chances.
