Miami Dolphins add depth and experience at QB, agreeing to deal with Jacoby Brissett, source says

The Miami Dolphins have found a new backup quarterback in Jacoby Brissett, who agreed to terms on a one-year deal Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Ryan Fitzpatrick reached an agreement with the Washington Football Team, on a one-year deal worth $10 million, a source told Schefter Monday, creating an absence next to Tua Tagovailoa in the quarterback room.

Enter Brissett, who turned 28 in December, and spent two seasons -- 2017 and 2019 -- as the starter for the Indianapolis Colts.

The Dolphins have said several times this offseason that Tagovailoa is their starting quarterback, but Brissett should be able to share his NFL experience and knowledge with Tagovailoa while also being one of the league's most talented and experienced backups.
