Ravens to acquire quarterback Jacoby Brissett from Cardinals
The Baltimore Ravens are set to trade for former Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett, with the move expected to be finalized over the weekend and the player slated to debut in Week 10.
The Baltimore Ravens are adding quarterback Jacoby Brissett in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals that is anticipated to be completed this weekend. The transaction will not allow Brissett to suit up for the Ravens' Thursday Night Football game in Week 9, but he is expected to make his first appearance in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
"The Ravens are acquiring Jacoby Brissett from the Cardinals, and the deal should be finalized this weekend," reported ESPN reporter Adam Schefter.
Details of the compensation the Ravens will send to Arizona have not been disclosed. Brissett, who entered the season as the Cardinals' third-string quarterback, had posted 3,366 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 12 starts last year. His recent performance has been mixed, and the trade provides Baltimore with additional depth at the position as the team approaches the season’s final weeks.
