Ravens Waive QB Diego Pavia 83 Days After Signing Him as Undrafted Heisman Runner-Up

Summary
Baltimore cut Diego Pavia on Thursday, one day before rookies report to training camp, ending the Vanderbilt quarterback's brief stint after he signed May 1.
The move trims a crowded depth-chart battle behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, with Skylar Thompson and undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano still competing for a likely practice-squad third role.
Pavia entered the NFL with strong college production — 3,539 passing yards, 29 passing TDs and 39 total TDs in 2025 — but his 5-foot-10 frame and off-field concerns hurt his staying power.
Previous reports said Baltimore waived him to clear a 90-man roster spot for veteran center Ethan Pocic, underscoring how little room the Ravens appear willing to devote to a developmental third quarterback.
