Arizona Cardinals to Trade Jacoby Brissett to Baltimore Ravens
Multiple reports Wednesday said veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett is expected to be traded from the Arizona Cardinals to the Baltimore Ravens in the coming days, according to a Nov. 4, 2026, post on the Arizona Cardinals’ official website. The report said Brissett was moved to third on the Cardinals’ depth chart earlier this week. It said Brissett has already said goodbye to teammates as the clubs and the league work through a potential transaction. Team officials and media accounts indicated a deal could be completed within days as both organizations work to finalize terms.
Arizona Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur declined to elaborate on the matter, saying, “Out of respect for the process and working to get stuff finalized, I really do not have much of a comment on it.” He added he expected the timeline for a deal to unfold “in the next few days.” The Cardinals’ report provided the timeline and roster details while teams negotiated the terms.
Baltimore’s need for proven quarterback depth grew after the Ravens lost starter Lamar Jackson and backup Snoop Huntley to season-ending injuries, the Arizona Cardinals’ report said. Brissett’s availability in Arizona aligned with the Ravens’ urgent roster requirements. The report said the Ravens’ timetable was accelerated by a Thursday night game this week.
The report also included injury and depth updates for the Cardinals’ Week 9 opponent, the Seattle Seahawks. It said Seattle will be without starter Sam Darnold because of a quad injury and expects Drew Lock to start in his place. Lock previously started against Arizona in Week 2 of the season, the report noted.

The expected Brissett trade underscores how quickly quarterback situations can change across the league and how teams use veteran depth in emergency scenarios. For Baltimore, adding an experienced starter like Brissett would provide an immediate option after the team lost both of its top two quarterbacks for the season. For Arizona, moving a veteran who had been dropped to third on the depth chart creates roster flexibility and helps address another club’s urgent need. Both teams will likely complete short-term roster moves in the days before the Ravens’ upcoming game as they finalize the transaction.
