Cardinals demote Jacoby Brissett to third string, trade buzz with Ravens arises
Summary

The Arizona Cardinals have demoted Jacoby Brissett to third on their quarterback depth chart following a win over the Dallas Cowboys. Gardner Minshew will now start, with rookie Carson Beck moving to the backup role. This change has sparked potential trade discussions, with the Baltimore Ravens seen as a possible destination, especially given their injury concerns with Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. The Ravens employed Israel Woolfork as their quarterbacks coach this offseason, who has prior experience with Brissett, potentially smoothing any transaction. While a trade is not imminent, Brissett's future with the Cardinals is uncertain as the trade deadline approaches.
