Ravens Acquire Veteran QB Jacoby Brissett from Cardinals Amid Injuries

On November 4, 2026, the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens were finalizing a trade for quarterback Jacoby Brissett, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Ravens, sitting at 4-4 after three consecutive losses, added Brissett after Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury that requires surgery and Tyler Huntley was ruled out with a season‑ending turf toe injury.

Brissett, 33, had been demoted to third‑string behind Gardner Minshew II and rookie Carson Beck on the Cardinals roster.

The trade was expected to be completed over the weekend, with compensation undisclosed, and Brissett was projected to debut on November 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers in a Monday Night Football matchup.

Arizona restructured Brissett’s contract by converting half of his remaining $5.4 million salary into a bonus, leaving the Ravens responsible for approximately $2.7 million.

Brissett’s new deal with Baltimore is reported to be worth $10 million.
