Ravens May Trade for QB Jacoby Brissett After Jackson Injury
Listen to the story
The Baltimore Ravens may be preparing to make a significant roster move, as an NFL insider has floated the idea of the team trading for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
The speculation comes amid an injury to Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson, which has reportedly left the team searching for experienced depth at the position.
According to the report, the Ravens are expected to pursue a trade for Brissett before Week 10 of the NFL season, a timeline that would allow the veteran quarterback to integrate into Baltimore's offense relatively quickly.
Brissett, who has spent years as both a starter and a reliable backup across multiple NFL teams, is seen as a veteran option who could provide stability while Jackson recovers.
Any potential deal would likely involve the Ravens offering compensation—such as a draft pick or roster player—to the Cardinals in exchange for Brissett's services. However, the specific terms of such a trade have not been disclosed.
It remains unclear whether the Cardinals would be willing to part with Brissett, who may still have value to Arizona depending on their own quarterback situation and competitive standing this season.
As of now, this report represents speculation from an NFL insider rather than a confirmed transaction. Neither the Ravens nor the Cardinals have issued an official statement regarding trade talks.
The NFL trade deadline adds urgency to the situation, as teams looking to make moves must finalize deals within a specific window before the season progresses further. How Jackson's recovery timeline unfolds could significantly influence whether Baltimore moves forward with pursuing Brissett or opts to wait for their star quarterback's return.
