Ravens Waive Pavia; NFL Interest Explored

54 sourcesUpdated Jul 27, 2026

Baltimore waived undrafted quarterback Diego Pavia days before training camp to open a roster spot for veteran center Ethan Pocic, leaving the 24-year-old to pursue opportunities with other NFL teams via the waiver process. Pavia, Vanderbilt’s Heisman finalist with a 10-3 season and standout passing and rushing totals, faced questions about his size and NFL projection despite leading a historic Commodores campaign. The move reflects Ravens’ roster management to maximize the 90-man camp limit behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. Several outlets highlighted possible NFL destinations for Pavia, including the Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers, and Denver Broncos, emphasizing his dual-threat potential as mobile depth. If he clears waivers, Pavia could explore leagues outside the NFL, though analysts view his best path as finding an NFL fit that values his playmaking ability.
