Undrafted free agent quarterback Joe Fagnano made the initial Ravens roster, and honestly, that’s the biggest shocker coming out of Baltimore’s 53-player cuts on Sunday.
The Undrafted Kid Who Made The Cut
Seriously, an undrafted guy snatching a spot? That’s the kind of story we love to see, even if it’s not our guys in the Emerald City. The Ravens hit their 53-player limit, but the real talk is about Fagnano. He’s officially on the depth chart, sitting behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. They waved goodbye to quarterback Austin Reed to make room, showing you just how much they must believe in this kid. What a start to his career, getting that nod right before the season officially kicks off!
The Roster Shake-Up Is Real
Of course, for every Fagnano making the roster, there are a whole bunch of tough goodbyes. The Ravens went through a massive list of waivers to get to that 53-player limit. They waved Michael Barrett, Evan Beerntsen, Rayshaun Benny, Cortez Braham Jr., Corey Bullock, Nick Dawkins, Dominic DeLuca, Aaron Graves, Xavier Guillory, Adisa Isaac, Cornelius Johnson, Jamon Johnson, Carl Jones Jr., Gerad Lichtenhan, Robert Longerbeam, Dontae McMillan, David Olajiga, Ty Pezza, Marquise Robinson, Kaimon Rucker, Lucas Scott, Octavian Smith Jr., Elijah Tau-Tolliver, Dayton Wade, Silas Walters, Lardarius Webb Jr., and Dion Wilson Jr. That’s a lot of talent hitting the wire. Plus, they terminated contracts for some other vets like wide receiver Chris Moore, cornerback Amani Oruwariye, and offensive tackle David Sh. It’s a brutal business getting to that final roster, every single year.
So, as the Ravens finalize their squad heading into Week 1, all eyes are gonna be on what Fagnano can do. Can he continue to impress and solidify that spot? The entire league watches these early moves closely, and Baltimore has certainly given everyone something to talk about with their QB room.
