Current Quarterback Hierarchy

Lamar Jackson anchors the Ravens' quarterback room as the franchise cornerstone following a restructured contract that freed up nearly $40 million in salary cap space. Tyler Huntley returns as the backup after being re-signed, replacing Cooper Rush who was released. The team did not use a draft pick on a quarterback, instead addressing offensive line, wide receiver, and tight end needs in the 2026 draft.

Undrafted Free Agent Signings

The Ravens signed undrafted free agents Diego Pavia and Joe Fagnano to compete on the quarterback depth chart. These signings came after the draft concluded, providing additional competition for the third quarterback spot ahead of the offseason workout program and organized team activities.

Jackson's 2026 Status

Jackson has been working out in Florida and appears sharp following an injury-plagued 2025 season. There remains no confirmation on whether he will participate in the voluntary portions of workouts and the nine organized team activities scheduled before mandatory minicamp in June.
