Jacoby Brissett Trade Terms Between Ravens, Cardinals Revealed in New NFL Rumors

The Baltimore Ravens sent a 2027 fourth-round pick and 2028 seventh-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for quarterback Jacoby Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round pick, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport reported the compensation after the Ravens announced Friday that the trade for Brissett had been officially completed.

On top of the draft picks involved, the Cardinals paid "a little more than half" of Brissett's remaining 2026 salary to get the deal done, per Rapoport.

Baltimore made the move one day after losing 33-10 to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football with undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano getting the start at quarterback.

The Ravens experienced a nightmare scenario last week during their 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, as quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley both went down with injuries.

Jackson had to leave the game after Baltimore's first offensive play due to a thumb injury, and Huntley wasn't far behind after injuring his toe.

Fagnano had to play the remainder of the game, and the Ravens offense didn't have much juice with him under center, which was the case once again on Thursday.

Jackson was placed on injured reserve since his injury required surgery, and head coach Jesse Minter told reporters that the injury is "potentially" season-ending.

Huntley's injury also required surgery, and he is expected to miss the rest of the season, per ESPN's Adam Schefter (h/t ESPN's Jamison Hensley).

With the Ravens down to Fagnano on their depth chart, it was reported earlier this week that they had agreed to a trade with the Cardinals for Brissett.

That trade became official Friday after the Baltimore offense looked listless once again.

In Brissett, the Ravens are getting a highly experienced signal-caller with 109 NFL appearances and 73 NFL starts to his credit.

The 33-year-old veteran only has a 23-50 record as a starter, but he put up some solid numbers over the past couple of years in a starting role with the Cards.

Last season, Brissett appeared in 14 games and started 12 of them, completing 64.9 percent of his passes for 3,366 yards with 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

In eight starts this season, Brissett is completing 63.3 percent of his passing attempts for 1,719 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven picks.

Brissett was supplanted by Gardner Minshew as the Cardinals' starter this week and also dropped behind rookie Carson Beck on the depth chart, so he quickly became expendable.

The Ravens now have a reliable veteran who can potentially keep their heads above water and in the playoff race either until Jackson returns or potentially for the rest of the season if Jackson is unable to make it back.
