Overview
- The trade was completed on Wednesday when Philadelphia sent Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick to Baltimore for a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick.
- Reports say Jurgens cleared a team physical after the deal but he remains in the NFL concussion protocol so his ability to practice or play for the Ravens depends on formal league clearance.
- Baltimore pursued Jurgens because three of its top centers were on injured reserve, forcing the team to move rookie guard Vega Ioane to center and creating an urgent need for a proven interior blocker.
- Eagles GM Howie Roseman said the team initially didn't plan to trade Jurgens but accepted the offer that included a second-rounder, and Philadelphia will rely on Drew Kendall and other depth options to man center after Lane Johnson's retirement.
- The move gives the Ravens a veteran under contract through 2029 while costing a future second-round pick, and it gives the Eagles added draft flexibility as they reorganize an overhauled offensive line.
