The Baltimore quarterback room was decimated on Sunday. With nine days left in the trading period, the Ravens could start looking for help elsewhere.
Starter Lamar Jackson is heading to injured reserve with a thumb injury that could end his season. Backup Tyler Huntley has a toe injury; its severity is to be determined.
One name to watch, as mentioned on Football Night in America, is Tyson Bagent. Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle had that same position last year in Chicago. And the Bears have three quarterbacks.
Bagent has a $4 million salary in 2026, and a $4.25 million compensation package in 2027. The Bears also have Case Keenum under contract, behind Caleb Williams.
The Ravens, we’re told, may explore the possibility of acquiring Bagent. We’re also told that it won’t be cheap to get him.
That’s how it goes when a team develops an in-season need for a quarterback. The price goes up, as reflected by the urgency of the effort to find a replacement.
If Huntley will miss time, the Ravens need to do something. The only other quaterback on the roster is Joe Fagnone, who played after Jackson and Huntley were hurt.
The Ravens have no quarterbacks on the practice squad. Diego Pavia was on the 90-man roster in the offseason; he was cut just before the opening of training camp. Austin Reed was later signed to the roster during camp, after Skylar Thompson was placed on injured reserve.
