The Baltimore Ravens have secured veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals, finalising the deal on Friday. The Ravens will receive Brissett along with a 2027 fifth-round draft pick, while the Cardinals get a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick in return.
The trade was confirmed by multiple sources, including NFL insider Adam Schefter, who posted the details on Twitter. The acquisition of Brissett addresses Baltimore’s immediate needs at quarterback as the team looks to bolster its options amid the ongoing NFL season.
Brissett, who has experience starting for several teams, brings a steady presence to the Ravens’ roster. While the specifics of how the Ravens plan to integrate him into their offensive scheme remain unconfirmed, his arrival signals an intent to strengthen the quarterback position.
The Cardinals, in parting with Brissett, gain additional draft capital with a higher fourth-round pick in 2027 and a late-round selection in 2028. This move suggests Arizona is focusing on future roster building rather than immediate veteran depth at quarterback.
The trade closes a chapter for Brissett in Arizona, where his role was limited. Baltimore’s decision to invest a draft pick alongside acquiring the quarterback indicates they see value in his experience and skill set for the remainder of the season and beyond.
There has been no official announcement yet from either team regarding the timing of Brissett’s debut for the Ravens. Fans and analysts will watch closely how quickly he adapts to his new team and what impact he might have on Baltimore’s offensive dynamics.
This transaction adds to the flurry of moves around the league as NFL teams adjust rosters heading into the final stretch of the regular season. The Ravens’ willingness to trade picks for a veteran signal their intent to push for immediate competitiveness.
The latest confirmed detail remains the exchange of Brissett and the draft picks between Baltimore and Arizona. Further updates on Brissett’s role with the Ravens or comments from team officials have not been released as of Friday.
