  "account": "The Baltimore Ravens have made significant changes to their quarterback room, waiving Austin Reed and finalizing a trade for veteran Jacoby Brissett. Reed was released on Friday as the team completed its acquisition of Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, who sent a 2027 fifth-round draft pick and two other draft selections in return. Brissett, 33, brings valuable NFL experience to Baltimore, having started 73 games in his career. The trade comes after a difficult stretch for the Ravens, who lost four straight games following injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. With Brissett joining the team, offensive coordinator Declan Doyle will have a more seasoned quarterback to work with as the Ravens aim to improve their struggling offense. The move also addresses the lack of experience at the position, as Baltimore has scored fewer than 14 points in four consecutive games for the first time in franchise history.",
