The Baltimore Ravens stirred controversy with a bold post-draft move to reshape their quarterback room by signing undrafted free agents Joe Fagnano and Diego Pavia to three-year deals, adding them alongside Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. Fagnano, a 6’3″, 226-pound QB from UConn, showcased strong production in 2025 (3,448 passing yards, 28 TDs, 1 INT over 12 starts), while Pavia, the Heisman runner-up from Vanderbilt, was initially set to try out at the rookie minicamp before the team extended a contract. The move has drawn a wave of backlash from fans online, including sharp criticisms of Pavia and questions about the franchise’s direction, with some arguing the Ravens panicked or undervalued established roster stability.
Key points:
– Ravens sign two undrafted free agents to three-year deals to bolster the QB room.
– Joe Fagnano impressed in 2025 for UConn; Pavia was a notable Vanderbilt standout who impressed during an initial tryout.
– The decision has sparked significant fan backlash and polarized reactions, including accusations of front-office panic and doubts about Pavia’s NFL fit compared to Lamar Jackson.
