The Baltimore Ravens never had a question about their starter. They have one of the best in the game in Lamar Jackson, a two-time MVP who continues to set the standard at the position. Behind him sits Tyler Huntley, a trusted veteran who has proven he can step in and win when called upon. Huntley signed a two-year arrangement earlier this offseason. He remains in the flock through the 2027 NFL season. The real question was always about depth. They were the only two QBs on the roster this offseason, both leading up to and after the NFL draft.
Questions have been answered with the additions of Diego Pavia and Joe Fagnano. Baltimore has rounded out its quarterback room with two intriguing undrafted free agents who bring very different skill sets and very real upside. Pavia arrives with plenty of attention. As a recent Heisman Trophy runner-up, he brings competitive fire, mobility, and playmaking ability. His dual-threat profile gives the Ravens a developmental option who can create outside of structure and stress defenses in unique ways. Fagnano offers something different.
A Ravens QB room with balance and variety
News of Baltimore’s Joe Fagnano acquisition came shortly before the Pavia news broke. Fagnano is a seasoned passer with seven years of NCAA experience. He brings poise, efficiency, and production to Baltimore’s quarterback room.
His 2025 campaign, one boasting nearly 3,500 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and just one interception, speaks to his ability to take care of the football and operate within an offense. He also ran for 131 yards and three additional scores on 47 carries. Together, this unit complements one another. More importantly, each piece complements the room. Pavia and Fagnano were smart, purposeful moves. These weren’t flashy signings. They were necessary ones.
Baltimore entered the post-draft window thin at quarterback, and rather than leave that to chance, they acted decisively. Pavia was initially set for a minicamp tryout, but the Ravens wasted little time securing him as it became known that other teams were monitoring the situation closely. That matters, and it was a no-brainer decision because in today’s NFL, depth at quarterback isn’t a luxury. It’s a requirement. Now, Baltimore has a room that checks every box.
There is elite talent at the top, proven reliability behind it, and developmental prospects who bring different strengths to the table. No drama. No uncertainty. Just a complete quarterback room built with intention. Sometimes, the simplest moves are the smartest ones, and adding Pavia and Fagnano to the nest certainly qualifies.
