What happened: The Baltimore Ravens finalized a trade to acquire quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Brissett is scheduled to take over starting quarterback duties for Baltimore beginning in Week 10. Baltimore entered the trade market looking for immediate stability at the position.

Why it matters: Brissett has completed 193 of 305 passes for 1719 yards with 10 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 2026 through 8 games. His efficiency and poise under pressure make him the premier secondary signal-caller in the league today. With that level of verified competence, Baltimore has enough offensive reliability to remain a credible threat in the playoff race.
