Ravens Waive Pavia; Winnipeg Holds CFL Rights
Ravens waivers: Undrafted quarterback Diego Pavia, a Vanderbilt/NM State signal-caller from New Mexico, was waived before training camp after being signed in April to compete for Baltimore’s third-string job. The move frees a roster spot for veteran center Ethan Pocic. Winnipeg CFL team holds negotiation rights to Pavia, signaling potential future interest in the Canadian league. Pavia’s size (around 5-10) and NFL-readiness remain concerns despite a 70.6% completion rate, 3,539 passing yards, 29 TDs, and 862 rushing yards in his final college season. He was briefly in a quarterback group with Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley, Skylar Thompson, and Joe Fagnano but did not crack the Ravens’ 53-man roster or practice squad. Analysts note his college success contrasts with NFL preferences for taller prototypes, with a path likely involving another NFL opportunity or a return to the CFL.
