This development is especially challenging for Diego Pavia, who joined Baltimore as an undrafted free agent after rookie minicamp. Thompson’s experience—10 games played, two starts, a 58.7% completion rate, 721 passing yards, one TD, and three interceptions—gives him a notable edge in the crowded quarterback room if roster decisions come down to performance and fit. Although Pavia’s skill set aligned with Jackson and Huntley, the addition of Thompson increases competition and could impact Pavia’s chances to secure a 53-man spot, at least in the near term.
Key points:
– Ravens reportedly signing Skylar Thompson to bolster quarterback depth for the offseason.
– Team could carry five QBs initially, with potential cuts later.
– QBs in the mix: Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley, Skylar Thompson, Diego Pavia, and Joe Fagnano.
– Thompson’s experience may elevate his position over Pavia and Fagnano during roster decisions.
– Pavia remains hopeful after rookie minicamp, but the crowded room complicates his path to the 53-man roster.
