Cardinals Trade QB Brissett to Ravens for Draft Pick
4 Nov
Summary
- Cardinals trade QB Jacoby Brissett to Ravens for a low draft pick.
- Gardner Minshew replaced Brissett, leading an upset win over the Cowboys.
- The Ravens acquired Brissett due to injuries to their quarterbacks.
The Arizona Cardinals have completed a trade, sending quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens. This move occurred after Brissett was recently demoted to third-string duties. His benching followed a Week 8 game where Gardner Minshew took over in the third quarter, leading the Cardinals to an upset victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
Head coach Mike LaFleur acknowledged the difficulty of benching Brissett but emphasized the need for a spark. The Ravens, dealing with injuries to Lamar Jackson and Snoop Huntley, were in urgent need of quarterback depth. This made them an ideal trade partner for Arizona.
While the exact terms are undisclosed, Arizona is expected to receive a low Day 3 draft pick. This acquisition adds to their draft capital, following a previous trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. The Cardinals are also clearing a path for rookie Carson Beck to potentially see playing time. Trade rumors also involve other players like Josh Sweat and Budda Baker. The NFL trade deadline is November 10, 2026.
