"Ben Volin of the Boston Globe reports the Jets and Falcons have shown interest in Brissett. That comes as no surprise, of course. New York hired Frank Reich - who previously coached Brissett during their time with the Colts - as offensive coordinator this year. Atlanta, meanwhile, brought in Kevin Stefanski as head coach; he previously worked with Brissett in Cleveland."
"Brissett could serve as a bridge starter as the Jets seek out a long-term answer in April's draft (or perhaps wait until 2027 to select a high-profile rookie). As expected, the Falcons will release Kirk Cousins and not attempt to re-sign him at a reduced rate. Brissett could offer the Falcons with a high floor for at least one season regardless of Penix's health situation."
The Arizona Cardinals may move on from quarterback Jacoby Brissett under new head coach Mike Lafeur. Brissett has one year remaining on his contract with a $4.88 million base salary for 2026, making him an affordable option for other teams. The New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons have expressed interest in acquiring him. The Jets hired offensive coordinator Frank Reich, who previously coached Brissett with the Colts, while the Falcons brought in head coach Kevin Stefanski, who worked with Brissett in Cleveland. Both teams need quarterback depth: the Jets expect Justin Fields to leave, and the Falcons will release Kirk Cousins while managing Marcus Penix Jr.'s ACL recovery.
