The Ravens are finalizing a trade with the Cardinals that will send Brissett to Baltimore, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal is expected to be completed over the weekend.
Brissett was set to become a free agent this offseason and was demoted from the starting role earlier this week, making him an expendable piece for the Cardinals, who will move forward with Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck as their quarterbacks. Baltimore, meanwhile, had a critical need for an experienced signal-caller after losing Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (foot) to injuries that will send both quarterbacks to injured reserve and potentially keep them out for the rest of the season, so Brissett will fill a void. Since the trade won't be made official for a few more days, Brissett won't be available for the Ravens' Thursday night game against the Jaguars. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano will direct the Baltimore offense against Jacksonville, but Brissett could step in as the Ravens' new starter beginning with a Week 10 matchup with the Chargers.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Loses starting gig, now No. 3 QB
Rotowire
Head coach Mike LaFleur said that Brissett will be removed from the starting role and serve as the Cardinals' No. 3 quarterback in Sunday's game in Seattle, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
The Cardinals will move forward with Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback, after he came on in relief of a struggling Brissett in Week 8 against Dallas and three touchdown passes en route to leading Arizona to a come-from-behind 33-30 victory in overtime. After putting up gaudy numbers over 12 starts in a pass-happy Arizona offense in 2025, Brissett had taken a notable step back statistically through the first eight games of this season, completing 63.3 percent of his passes for 1,719 yards (5.6 YPA), 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions to go with 87 yards and another score on the ground. Rather than serving as the direct backup to Minshew, the 33-year-old Brissett will drop to third on the depth chart in order for rookie third-round pick Carson Beck to be active on game days and potentially see his first NFL action later on this season.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Gets pulled early in Week 8
Rotowire
Brissett completed 10 of 23 passes for 118 yards, no touchdowns and one interception and turned three carries into seven yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime win at Dallas. He also was pulled for backup QB Gardner Minshew near the end of the third quarter.
At the time of Brissett's last offensive snap with 3:38 left in the third quarter, the Cardinals were trailing 17-3, after which Minshew led the team on four straight TD drives to force overtime. Along with a Week 2 stinker against the Seahawks -- 17-for-28 passing for 95 yards, one TD and one INT -- this marked one of Brissett's two least productive outings of the season. Afterward, head coach Mike LaFleur told Darren Urban of the team's official site that he won't name a Week 9 starter between Brissett and Minshew just yet, only saying, "I thought we needed a spark." Considering the considerable influence Minshew had on Arizona's third win of 2026, it wouldn't surprise if he's under center instead of Brissett next Sunday in Seattle.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 8 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Brissett has the chance to help Fantasy managers in Week 8 against the Cowboys, who are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. He has scored at least 18.5 Fantasy points in three of his past five games, and this is a good setup for him. Dallas should build a lead against Arizona, and Brissett should be throwing a lot in a comeback effort. I like Brissett as a low-end starter in all leagues, and he's worth adding in 5-10 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Red-zone struggles persist in Week 7
Rotowire
Brissett completed 27 of 48 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven times for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.
After failing to score a touchdown in the Week 6 win over the Rams, Brissett and the Cardinals mustered only one touchdown on five trips into the red zone Sunday. Brissett averaged a meager 5.7 yards per pass attempt but inflated his numbers with heavy volume. He has a 3-16 record since taking over as Arizona's starting QB while throwing at least 40 passes in 10 of those 19 starts. Brissett's likely to post a more efficient passing performance in Week 8 against a far more permissive Cowboys pass defense.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Beats Rams despite dearth of TDs
Rotowire
Brissett completed 24 of 35 passes for 218 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Rams. He also rushed twice for two yards.
Brissett was held without a touchdown pass for the first time this season, but he did enough to lead the Cardinals into field-goal range six times, and Arizona's defense and special teams delivered an inspired performance to pull off an unlikely road win over the NFC West rival Rams. Both of Brissett's wins this season have come at SoFi Stadium, as he also defeated the Chargers in LA in Arizona's regular-season opener. Brissett will try to notch his first home win of the season in Week 7 against the Broncos while attempting to improve his 9:6 TD:INT through six games.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
I loved the setup for Brissett in Week 5 against Detroit since I expected the Lions to score on the Cardinals, and then Brissett would take advantage of a mediocre defense in garbage time. He finished the game with 31.3 Fantasy points, and he has now scored at least 29.6 points in two of this past three outings. This week, the Rams should also score plenty of points against Arizona, but Brissett will face a tougher test in his comeback effort. The Rams have held Bo Nix, Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen to a combined 489 passing yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions in the past three games. Brissett should get close to 20 Fantasy points in this game, but I expect him to fall short of that mark. He's only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Pads stats late in loss
Rotowire
Brissett completed 29 of 47 passes for 292 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 19 yards and a seven-yard reception on his only target in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Brissett's final stat line was deceptively impressive and largely the byproduct of plenty of production amassed over the final two drives when Arizona was already down by more than three touchdowns. The veteran signal-caller capped off both of those possessions with scoring tosses to tight ends, connecting with Teagan Quitoriano (13 yards) and Trey McBride (nine yards). Brissett had previously recorded a two-yard scoring strike to Quitoriano back in the first quarter as well, and the former finished with a season high in passing yards and touchdown passes. Brissett next faces the tough challenge of the Rams' talented secondary in a Week 6 road matchup next Sunday.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The positives for Brissett are he has at least 35 pass attempts in three of four games this season, he has consecutive games with two touchdown passes heading into Week 5 against Detroit and he gets to face the Lions, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. The negatives for Brissett are that he has just one game with more than 20 Fantasy points, and he had only 166 passing yards against the Giants in Week 4 with three interceptions. I like Brissett as a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues in Week 5, and he could be a borderline starter all season given his expected volume on a weekly basis. He's worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Hurt by three INTs in loss to Giants
Rotowire
Brissett completed 21 of 35 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions in Sunday's 36-24 loss to the Giants. He added 18 yards on four carries.
The veteran QB came into Sunday with only one turnover in the first three games of the year, but Brissett's three INTs killed any chance the Cardinals might have had of stealing a win at MetLife Stadium -- his third came on the final play of the game in the Giants' red zone, as his toss to Michael Wilson instead turned into a 98-yard pick-six by Deonte Banks. Brissett will take a 6:4 INT, and a three-game losing streak, into a Week 5 clash at home with the Lions.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Brissett is coming off his best game of the season in Week 3 at San Francisco with 29.6 Fantasy points, and I like him as a low-end starter in all leagues in Week 4 at the Giants. Brian Burns (knee) is out for the season, and the Giants should have trouble putting pressure on Brissett. Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford each scored at least 18.4 Fantasy points against the Giants, and Brissett should be in that range in Week 4. He has scored at least 18.5 Fantasy points in 13 of his past 15 games, going back to last season.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 4 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
In Week 3 at San Francisco, we got the Brissett performance we've been waiting for when he was 38-of-52 passing for 280 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, and he added a rushing touchdown for 29.6 Fantasy points. He has two favorable upcoming matchups at the Giants in Week 3 and against Detroit in Week 4, and Brissett is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues in those outings. He should be added for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Solid numbers in high-scoring loss
Rotowire
Brissett completed 38 of 52 passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for four yards in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Brissett put together one of his signature stat lines, parlaying massive passing volume into a solid yardage figure while remaining free of turnovers. The veteran signal-caller's pass-distribution profile was also on brand, as a whopping 28 of his pass attempts went in the direction of Michael Wilson (17 targets) and Trey McBride (11 targets). Brissett hit Wilson (five yards) and Jeremiyah Love (one yard) for his pair of touchdown passes, marking his first multi-TD tally of the season. Brissett is averaging a typically conservative 5.6 yards per attempt over his first three games, but he's thrown for over 275 yards in two of his first three games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Brissett has been a mediocre Fantasy quarterback so far in two games against the Chargers and Seahawks, combining for just 26.9 Fantasy points over that span. But this could be his breakout game in 2026 in Week 3 at San Francisco. The Cardinals will likely be chasing points, and the 49ers are without pass rusher Nick Bosa (calf). Brissett played one game against San Francisco in 2025 and was 47-of-57 passing for 452 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions for 25.9 Fantasy points. I like Brissett as a low-end starter in one-quarterback leagues and a must-start option in Superflex and two-quarterback formats.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Brissett has yet to top 20 Fantasy points in two games against the Chargers and Seahawks, but he remains a low-end starter in all one-quarterback leagues heading into Week 3 at San Francisco. He scored 25.9 Fantasy points in one game against the 49ers last season in Week 11 and hopefully, he can repeat that level of production this week. Brissett is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Stellar numbers in Week 1 upset
Rotowire
Brissett completed 27 of 37 passes for 277 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while rushing six times for 14 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Brissett helped the Cardinals set an immediate tone for a potential upset on the team's first drive of the season, when he led Arizona on an 11-play, 70-yard march that culminated with Jeremiyah Love's five-yard touchdown run. The veteran signal-caller proceeded to put together a performance highly reminiscent of several of his 2025 starts that earned him an extension this summer and the starting role to open the new campaign. Brissett connected with Trey McBride for his one touchdown pass from three yards out early in the fourth quarter, and his afternoon also included a 27-yard connection with McBride and a picturesque 33-yard rainbow down the left sideline to Marvin Harrison that was dropped in perfectly. Brissett will look to build on the stellar effort in a tough Week 2 home matchup against the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Starting QB on depth chart
Rotowire
Brissett is listed with the first-team offense on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart.
After Arizona released Kyler Murray in March, the team signed Gardner Minshew in free agency and then rounded out the QB room by drafting Carson Beck (ribs) in the third round of the 2026 Draft. Despite those notable additions, Brissett was expected to be the starter, and as a result he held a hold-in during the offseason program and at the starting training camp before agreeing to a revised contract with the team on July 26. Brissett made a cameo in preseason Week 1 versus the Raiders, completing all five of his passes for 44 yards and a touchdown strike to Marvin Harrison. Considering he'll have TE Trey McBride, WRs Harrison and Michael Wilson and RBs Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Tyler Allgeier at his disposal, Brissett very well may produce like he did during his 12-game starting stint to end last season. Whether that'll be enough for Brissett to hold on to the No. 1 gig throughout the campaign is up in the air, especially with Beck waiting in the wings.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Won't play in Saturday's preseason contest
Rotowire
Coach Mike LaFleur said Thursday that Brissett won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
After a crisp preseason Week 1 in which he competed all five of his passes for 44 yards and one touchdown last Thursday at Las Vegas, Brissett will take a seat for the Cardinals' second exhibition, ceding the start to backup QB Gardner Minshew. Meanwhile, Carson Beck "most likely" won't be healthy enough to play through his rib injury, meaning Minshew and Kedon Slovis will handle signal-caller duties Saturday. After inking a reworked contract with Arizona in late July, Brissett again will lead the offense come Week 1.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Completes all five passes Thursday
Rotowire
Brissett completed all five of his passes for 44 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 27-14 preseason win in Las Vegas.
In his first game action since agreeing to a reworked contract in late July, Brissett connected with WR Michael Wilson (twice for 23 yards), first-round rookie RB Jeremiyah Love (once for two yards), WR Kendrick Bourne (one time for 12 yards) and WR Marvin Harrison (a seven-yard TD). Meanwhile, standout TE Trey McBride logged just one play before hitting the sidelines. This was one exhibition contest with Brissett working with the first-team offense, but the offensive scheme under new coach Mike LaFleur appears to be running on all cylinders roughly one month before the regular season kicks off.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Will play Thursday
Rotowire
Coach Mike LaFleur said Tuesday that Brissett and the rest of the Cardinals' starters will play one or two possessions during Thursday's preseason game at Las Vegas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
LaFleur held out Arizona's starters in last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game versus the Panthers, but Brissett and the rest of the first-team offense are slated to get some run this week. Brissett will likely be throwing passes to the Cardinals' top skill-position talents, including rookie first-round RB Jeremiyah Love, WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson and TE Trey McBride.
