GREEN BAY PACKERS secure the services of free agent quarterback.
The Green Bay Packers have secured an important addition to their quarterback lineup for the upcoming season, with another potential signing .
They’ve reached an agreement with Jacoby Brissett for a one-year contract worth $8 million, with the possibility of earning up to $12 million through incentives. Brissett, a 31-year-old veteran who served as the Washington Commanders’ backup quarterback last season, is returning to the Packers, where he previously played as a backup to Tom Brady for a Super Bowl-winning season in 2016.
With the New England Patriots expected to select their quarterback of the future early in the 2024 NFL Draft, Brissett’s return could provide experienced backup support and competition for the rookie.
If the Patriots’ rookie quarterback isn’t deemed ready to start at the beginning of the season, Brissett could potentially step in as the starter. Despite not having been a full-time starter since his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts from 2017 to 2020, where he achieved an 11-19 record, Brissett’s return to the Patriots signals a new phase for the team following the departure of longtime head coach Bill Belichick after 24 seasons with the organization.
