Ravens, QB Tyler Huntley Agree To Deal

This is a two-year pact. Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic notes it has a base value of $5MM. Incentives can push Huntley’s earning potential to $11MM, per both reports.

Since arriving in the NFL, Huntley has spent most of his career with Baltimore. The former undrafted free agent has made 32 combined regular and postseason appearances; 27 of them have come as a member of the Ravens across two different stints. Huntley saw time with the Browns during the 2024 offseason before retuning to Baltimore. Later that year, he departed the practice squad to sign with the Dolphins and fill in for an injured Tua Tagovailoa.

Huntley once again wound up in Cleveland this past summer, although he did not survive roster cutdowns. That resulted in a Baltimore return via a practice squad deal. The 28-year-old found himself back on a depth chart including Lamar Jackson, but free agent signing Cooper Rush was in place as well. Rush received the first opportunity to replace an injured Jackson early in the 2025 season, but Baltimore’s offense struggled mightily with him at the helm.

Huntley eventually took over, and he handled starting duties in Weeks 8 and 17. Baltimore won both of those games, and over the course of the season Huntley set new career highs in completion percentage (77.6%), yards per attempt (6.4) and passer rating (103.1). Those figures came about in large part due to a small sample size, of course, but they helped raise the Utah’s product’s value ahead of a free agent period lacking in high-end quarterback options.

Huntley could have tested the market next week. Instead, he has agreed to a deal which will extend his current Ravens tenure. Rush is on the books for 2026 as things stand, but this news points even further in the direction of a release in his case. That would leave Jackson – whose pending extension remains a key cost-saving move yet to be finalized – and Huntley atop the QB depth chart moving forward.

This agreement marks a raise from the $1.17MM Huntley made in 2025. Baltimore has other key financial decisions to make for a number of reasons, not the least of which being creating the cap space needed to finalize the Maxx Crosby trade. With plenty more work to be done, the Ravens have at least settled their quarterback setup ahead of the new league year.
