Ravens Acquire Center Ryan Neuzil From Falcons for Andrew Vorhees and a 2028 Sixth
Baltimore made its second trade for a center in five weeks, beating the deadline to add Atlanta's starter
The Ravens beat the buzzer for one more piece up front. Baltimore is acquiring Falcons starting center Ryan Neuzil for guard Andrew Vorhees and a 2028 sixth-round pick, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported just after Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline passed. ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported that the sixth-rounder is conditional.

It's Baltimore's second trade for a center in 34 days. On Oct. 7, the Ravens sent the Eagles a 2028 second-round pick and a 2027 fifth for two-time Pro Bowler Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh, and Jurgens has started the last three games. The position has been a revolving door: Danny Pinter, Jovaughn Gwyn and Ethan Pocic have all gone on injured reserve this season, so Neuzil gives the Ravens a proven starter behind or alongside Jurgens on the interior.
Neuzil, 29, has made all 38 of his career starts at center. He also knows the coaching staff. Ravens offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford coached him in Atlanta from 2022 to 2025.
Vorhees, a 2023 seventh-round pick, started 17 games at left guard last season but struggled, and Baltimore replaced him this offseason by signing John Simpson.
For Atlanta, it's another deadline move with an eye on the future. The 3-6 Falcons traded safety Jessie Bates III to Jacksonville on Monday for a 2027 second and a 2028 fifth. Veteran Corey Levin, who has played guard and center over eight NFL seasons, is expected to take over at center, and the Falcons signed center Gus Hartwig to their practice squad Tuesday.
The Falcons host the Chiefs on Sunday. The Ravens (4-5), coming off three straight losses, are off until Monday night, Nov. 16, when they host the Chargers.
