The Baltimore Ravens have acquired quarterback Jacoby Brissett in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals, addressing a pressing need at the position following a disappointing Thursday Night Football loss. The deal was finalized on Friday, November 6, 2026, giving Baltimore a week and a half to prepare Brissett for a possible Week 10 start against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Brissett, a veteran backup, joins a Ravens team that has been searching for depth behind starter Lamar Jackson. The trade comes after Baltimore's offense struggled in a prime-time defeat, highlighting the lack of a reliable contingency plan at quarterback.
According to Yahoo Sports contributor Andy Backstrom, the Ravens hope Brissett's experience can provide stability if Jackson is unavailable. The Cardinals, meanwhile, move on from Brissett as they continue to develop their own quarterback room.
