Brissett Joins Cardinals; Patriots Sign Dobbs

Jacoby Brissett, a seasoned quarterback, has agreed to a contract with the Arizona Cardinals to serve as the backup to starter Kyler Murray, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Brissett, who has played for six different NFL teams over his career, has 53 starts in 87 appearances, most recently playing for the New England Patriots. His performance in the 2024 season included a significant game-winning drive against the New York Jets, showcasing his capability to lead under pressure. Meanwhile, the New England Patriots have signed former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Josh Dobbs to a two-year, $8 million deal, signaling a shift from Brissett. Dobbs, who brings veteran experience, is expected to serve as a backup or potentially a primary option if other trades occur. This move provides the Patriots with strategic flexibility in their quarterback lineup moving forward.
