- The Ravens’ deal for Cam Jurgens does both.
- Baltimore sent a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick to Philadelphia for Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick, a steep price that immediately changed the conversation around the Ravens’ offensive line.
- The Ravens traded for Jurgens on Wednesday with the hope that he can settle the middle of the line and let everyone else slide into better-fitting roles.
- Baltimore gave up a future second-round pick for a player who has had a down season at guard, and that is the kind of move that can look bold in October and expensive later.
- New York had been looking at John Michael Schmitz as a possible trade path, but the Ravens’ move for Jurgens may have closed off the best chance to move him.
- Schmitz struggled through the first three games of the season before missing practice for the birth of his child, and backup Bryan Hudson’s strong start in his place only added to the uncertainty around that position.
- So the Jurgens trade is not just about Baltimore getting a center.
