Baltimore suffered a series of injuries at center earlier this season, prompting a brief stint with a first-round rookie Vega Ioane handle starting duties indoors instead of his natural guard position. An agreement was then reached with the Eagles for Cam Jurgenswho worked as the Ravens’ C starter after returning to play from a concussion. If Jurgens remains in the lineup, Neuzil will be forced to play guard for the first time in the NFL.
The App State product spent much of his college career at left guard. Unless Neuzil is seen primarily as a replacement for Jurgens, today’s trade could pave the way for his replacement. John Simpson in the lineup with Ioane continuing to fill the right guard role. Regardless, the acquisition of Neuzil marks a new offensive line addition from Baltimore following the hiring of the former Falcons O-line coach. Dwayne Ledford.
As Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic notes, Ledford is a Neuzil supporter. With another familiar face in the fold, Baltimore will look to find some much-needed stability up front. Commercial acquisition Jacoby Brissett is in line to assume quarterback duties in place of the injured Lamar Jackson And Tyler Huntleyand improved pass protection will be key down the stretch. Neuzil, 29, is a pending free agent. Baltimore will pay the rest prorated on his $4.05 million salary.
For Atlanta, this move will create a vacancy in the starting lineup. Neuzil succeeded Drew Dalman in 2025 following his free agent departure, recording 26 consecutive first-team appearances along the way. Zrebiec’s colleague Josh Kendall writes that the trade will likely result in a starting position for Corey Levin move forward.
Vorhees was drafted in 2023, but spent his rookie season recovering from a torn ACL suffered at the Combine. The former seventh-rounder made 37 appearances and 22 starts for Baltimore but did not develop as hoped. Vorhees agreed to a restructured contract this past offseason. He is therefore a pending restricted free agent.
