Ravens Cut Quarterback Diego Pavia Ahead of Training Camp
The Baltimore Ravens have released quarterback Diego Pavia, a player who made history as the first Heisman finalist to enter the NFL draft as an undrafted free agent. Pavia had signed a three-year deal with the team in April.
Baltimore Ravens have parted ways with quarterback Diego Pavia, a surprising move that comes just one week before the team is set to begin training camp. Pavia was a notable addition to the roster in April, having secured a three-year contract with the Ravens.
His signing earlier this year made headlines as Pavia etched his name in the record books, becoming the first player in over a decade to be a Heisman Trophy finalist yet go undrafted in the NFL. This distinction highlighted his collegiate success and the potential teams saw in him.
The decision to waive Pavia so close to the start of camp raises questions about the team's quarterback depth and evaluation process. While he was an undrafted free agent, his unique status as a Heisman finalist suggested he might have had a chance to develop within the Ravens' system. His departure could signal confidence in other rostered quarterbacks or a swift re-evaluation of his fit with the team's long-term plans.
Cutting a Heisman finalist undrafted free agent a week before camp suggests the Ravens either saw something deeply concerning during offseason workouts or have an extreme level of confidence in their current QB room.
