Ravens cut quarterback Diego Pavia after scrutiny over pre-draft behavior

Summary

The Baltimore Ravens released Diego Pavia from their roster shortly before training camp on July 25, 2026. This decision came amid criticism concerning Pavia's pre-draft choices, including a late-night visit to a strip club just before the NFL Draft. Former Pro Bowl quarterback Robert Griffin III commented on how such actions can influence teams’ perceptions, particularly regarding a player's judgment and decision-making abilities. Despite impressive collegiate performances, Pavia went undrafted and had signed a multi-year deal with the Ravens, which did not include bonuses. His future in the NFL is now uncertain as he looks for another opportunity.
