Cardinals Could Send Brissett to Vikings Before Trade Deadline

On November 3, Arizona’s quarterback situation put Jacoby Brissett among the players who could be moved before the NFL’s November 10 trade deadline. The Cardinals have turned to Gardner Minshew as their starter, with Carson Beck behind him, leaving Brissett in an emergency role.

Minnesota is one possible trade partner. The Vikings are 6-1, but their offense has struggled, and the team could look for another experienced quarterback. Brissett is on a relatively inexpensive contract that is expiring, making a deal potentially attainable for limited draft compensation.

Brissett had 23 touchdown passes and eight interceptions in 2025. This season, he has thrown seven interceptions, though he has also recorded four games with at least 270 passing yards. A late-round pick has been suggested as a possible price.

The Vikings’ offense averages 279.4 total yards per game, ranking 29th, and 20 points per game, ranking 27th. Kyler Murray, Minnesota’s quarterback, has a 44.7 QBR, 26th among NFL quarterbacks. Brissett took over for Murray in Arizona last season after Murray was injured in Week 5 and did not return.

Arizona kept Brissett as its starter entering 2026, then shifted to Minshew. Brissett could offer Minnesota an experienced option, but adapting to the team’s offensive system could be difficult. The Cardinals’ decision on whether to move him remains ahead of the deadline.
