Andy Dalton News
Sunday, October 18, 7:21 PM
Veteran free-agent quarterback Andy Dalton, who was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles nine days ago after he was demoted to the third-string role, told the team he is not interested in re-signing after Jalen Hurts' (calf) medical condition that has forced him to Injured Reserve, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. Florio was told that the 38-year-old could sign with a new team as soon as Monday. Tanner McKee made the start on Sunday in the Week 6 contest against the visiting Carolina Panthers and went 26-for-45 passing for 215 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in the 25-14 loss in his first start with Hurts out. Rookie Cole Payton is now the backup to McKee with Hurts out for the foreseeable future, and the Eagles also added Joe Milton as the QB3 for more depth. Dalton's lone pass attempt this year against the Chicago Bears while Hurts was in the medical tent was a crucial interception in the 27-7 loss on Sept. 28. The 16-year veteran does not have much left to offer at this point in his career, but it appears he is on the verge of latching on with another organization as a veteran backup.

Jacoby Brissett News
Wednesday, November 4, 9:52 AM
The Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a trade on Wednesday to send veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal is expected to be completed this weekend. The Ravens lost two-time MVP QB Lamar Jackson to what is expected to be a season-ending right-thumb injury in their Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and his backup, Tyler Huntley, is also expected to miss the rest of the year with turf toe. Undrafted rookie signal-caller Joe Fagnano is being forced into his first NFL start on Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the Ravens should have Brissett under center for a Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. The writing was on the wall for Brissett to be traded earlier this week when Arizona demoted him to the QB3 role after he was benched in favor of Gardner Minshew II in Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys. Brissett, 33, will now be back on the superflex radar as the presumed starter for Baltimore in Week 10 and beyond. It is good news for the rest of the Ravens' offensive skill players in fantasy, most notably receiver Zay Flowers and running back Derrick Henry.
