The Baltimore Ravens were stuck in a tricky spot at the 2026 NFL trade deadline. On one hand, they're close enough in the AFC playoff picture to contend, while on the other hand, Lamar Jackson is likely out for the remainder of the season.

But that didn't stop the Ravens from making a trade. They added the Atlanta Falcons' starting center, Ryan Neuzil, in a move that obviously put Cam Jurgens' future in question as the team's starting center.

According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, head coach Jesse Minter told reporters that the plan with Jurgens hasn't changed. He's still the center, despite the team's last-second trade for Neuzil on deadline day.

"Minter said that they have no plans to move Cam Jurgens off center," Zrebiec reports. "For now, trade acquisition Ryan Neuzil is a depth add."

On deadline day, the Ravens sent the Falcons Andrew Vorhees and a 2028 Day 3 draft pick to acquire Neuzil. It was an odd move in the moment, especially since it came out after the deadline had already passed.

What made it especially strange was that earlier this season, the Ravens sent the Philadelphia Eagles a second-round pick and a fifth-round pick to acquire Jurgens to be their new starting center.

To make a trade for Neuzil, a center who will be a free agent following the 2026 NFL season, it's an odd move that naturally brought about questions about Jurgens.

But, according to Minter, the Ravens plan to keep Jurgens as their starting center, with Neuzil factoring in as a depth lineman for the team going forward.

This odd trade is one to revisit by the end of the season, especially considering the Ravens spent real capital to land Neuzil, who might end up riding the bench for the rest of the season, bringing the pickup into even more question.
