Diego Pavia's first NFL contract was for three years. In total, it did not last three months.
The Baltimore Ravens have waived Pavia, the quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist from Vanderbilt, ahead of training camp, according to NFL Media and ESPN insider Ian Rapoport. Baltimore had initially signed Pavia to a standard, three-year deal in April after he went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Pavia, 24, will enter a 24-hour waiver period following the transaction. All 31 other teams will be able to file a waiver claim to take on Pavia's three-year deal. Should he clear waivers, he will become a free agent again, free to sign with any team.
The Vanderbilt product was a longshot to make the Ravens' roster in his first season in the pros. In addition to the concerns about his 5-foot-10, 203-pound frame, Pavia needed to battle for a role in a Baltimore quarterbacks room that already features an entrenched starter in Lamar Jackson and a proven backup in Tyler Huntley.
