The Washington Commanders will sign Jacoby Brissett to be the team's new backup quarterback, a day after Taylor Heinicke departed for the Atlanta Falcons.
ESPN reported that Brissett will get $8 million guaranteed on his one-year contract, with incentives that could take the value as high as $10 million.
Brissett had success in college at N.C. State before getting drafted by the New England Patriots in the 2016 draft.
Since then he's bounced around, but always seemed to find a way to end up playing in NFL games.
Most recently, Brissett was in Cleveland last year, starting 11 games before Deshaun Watson returned from a league-mandated suspension.
The year before, he took over for Tua Tagovailoa after an injury in Miami, and in 2020 he relieved Philip Rivers in Indianapolis.
