Diego Pavia's first NFL stop has ended quickly. The Baltimore Ravens waived the former Vanderbilt quarterback, a Heisman Trophy finalist who had joined the team as an undrafted free agent on a three-year deal.
The move means Pavia did not make it to training camp with Baltimore. Based on the available details, his initial contract lasted less than three months, bringing a swift end to his first shot at earning a place on an NFL roster.
Pavia arrived with notable college recognition after his run at Vanderbilt and entered the league with the kind of attention that often follows Heisman finalists. Even so, undrafted quarterbacks typically face a steep climb, and roster decisions can come early as teams sort through offseason depth.
For the Ravens, the transaction is another offseason roster adjustment. For Pavia, it marks an early setback in his pro career, but also leaves open the possibility of another opportunity elsewhere as teams continue evaluating quarterback depth ahead of the season.
