Report: With QBs aplenty, Browns to listen to trade offers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Cleveland Browns have a full quarterback room and have talked with “multiple teams” about a possible trade for second-year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, The Athletic reported Tuesday.

Deshaun Watson is the incumbent starter with Jameis Winston his expected backup. That leaves veteran Tyler Huntley to vie with Thompson-Robinson for the No. 3 spot.

The Browns signed Winston, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, to a one-year, $4 million deal in March. That same month, they added Huntley, formerly of the Baltimore Ravens, on a one-year, $1.29 million contract.

Thompson-Robinson signed a four-year, $4.18 million pact after the Browns selected him in the fifth round of the 2023 draft.

Per The Athletic, the Browns could trade to try to fill holes left by injuries elsewhere on the roster, such as along the offensive line and in the secondary.

Thompson-Robinson ended the 2023 season with a hip injury but has fully participated in summer practices.

As a rookie, Thompson-Robinson appeared in eight games (three starts) and completed 53.6 percent of his passes for 440 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions.

Reports: QB Tyler Huntley reaches deal with Browns

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Quarterback Tyler Huntley agreed to terms on a contract with the Cleveland Browns, multiple media outlets reported on Sunday.

Huntley joins a crowded quarterback room consisting of Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Huntley, 26, spent four seasons as a backup to Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens. Huntley was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 after completing 67.0 percent of his passes for 658 yards and two touchdowns in six games (four starts).

Huntley has thrown for 1,957 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions in 20 games (nine starts) with the Ravens. He signed with Baltimore in 2020 as an undrafted free agent out of Utah.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) misses first practice this season

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did not participate in Thursday’s practice due to an illness, the first time this season he was unavailable.

Tyler Huntley and Josh Johnson stood in at quarterback in the absence of Jackson, who missed games in December each of the past two seasons due to injury.

The Ravens are otherwise fully healthy coming out of the bye week and face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

NFL Network reported Jackson should be ready for gameday.

Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman missed Wednesday’s practice due to illness but was back on the field Thursday afternoon.

Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said head coach John Harbaugh would have to share any information on the reason for Jackson’s absence.

Jackson, 26, has completed 68.3 percent of his passes for 2,618 yards with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions in 12 games this season. The 2019 NFL MVP has rushed for 574 yards and five TDs for the Ravens (9-3), who have won six of seven games entering Sunday’s clash against the visiting Los Angeles Rams (6-6).

Huntley, Baltimore’s primary backup, posted a 2-2 record while replacing Jackson in 2022.

Report: Ravens QB Tyler Huntley has minor hamstring injury

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is nursing a minor hamstring injury, NFL Network reported on Sunday.

Huntley exited in the fourth quarter of the Ravens’ 20-19 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday after completing 8 of 11 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 13 yards. Huntley began the second half in place of Josh Johnson, who got the start with starting quarterback Lamar Jackson sitting out the preseason game.

Anthony Brown relieved Huntley for the Ravens, who have won 24 consecutive preseason games.

Huntley, 25, signed a one-year, restricted free-agent tender worth $2.63 million in April.

He appeared in six games (four starts) for the Ravens in 2022, throwing for 658 yards and two touchdowns against three interceptions. He also rushed 43 times for 137 yards and a touchdown and earned the first Pro Bowl selection of his career.

Huntley is 3-5 as a starter across three seasons in Baltimore.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley signs RFA tender

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Baltimore Ravens now have two quarterbacks under contract for 2023, neither one named Lamar Jackson.

Tyler Huntley signed his one-year, restricted free agent tender worth $2.627 million on Monday. He joins Anthony Brown as one of two QBs the Ravens have in the fold.

The Ravens and Jackson remain in a stalemate. The Ravens placed the franchise tag on Jackson, who has said he won’t sign it and instead wants to be traded.

The Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson on March 7, five days after he says he requested the trade. The sides failed to reach agreement on a new contract despite negotiations that have lasted more than a year.

Jackson has until July 17 to sign the tender, or sign a long-term deal with the club, with the latter appearing unlikely now.

Until he signs the $32.41 million tender, Jackson is free to meet with other teams and agree to a long-term deal with one of them. The Ravens, by using the franchise tag, have refusal rights and can match any offer sheet Jackson receives. If the Ravens choose not to match a contract offer, they would command two first-round picks in exchange for Jackson.

If Jackson doesn’t find a suitor and if the Ravens refuse to trade him, Jackson will be forced to play on the tender or sit out the 2023 season.

Huntley appeared in six games (four starts) for the Ravens in 2022, throwing for 658 yards and two touchdowns against three interceptions, earning is first Pro Bowl nod.

He’s 3-5 as a starter across three seasons in Baltimore.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley headed to Pro Bowl

Posted on | by Field Level Media

First, he replaced injured Ravens starter Lamar Jackson.

Now Baltimore backup Tyler Huntley is headed to the Pro Bowl Games to replace injured Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

The invitation to Las Vegas completes a whirlwind couple of months for the undrafted third-year player known as “Snoop,” who will celebrate his 25th birthday on Friday.

After Jackson went down with a knee injury in Week 13, Huntley started four of the last five regular season games (2-2 record) and the wild-card playoff loss at Cincinnati on Jan. 15.

Huntley completed 67.0 percent of his passes in the regular season for 658 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, and also rushed for 137 yards and a score. He was 17-of-29 passing for 226 yards, two TDs and one pick in the 24-17 loss to the Bengals.

Allen is dealing with an elbow injury.

The reinvented Pro Bowl Games, including a flag football contest, will take place from Thursday through Sunday in Las Vegas.

Reports: Ravens to play both Tyler Huntley, Anthony Brown

Posted on | by Field Level Media

With an injured Lamar Jackson out, the Baltimore Ravens reportedly plan to use both backup quarterbacks during Sunday night’s AFC wild-card game against the host Cincinnati Bengals.

Multiple reports said the Ravens will deploy the unusual strategy with Tyler Huntley and Anthony Brown, despite challenges with each.

Huntley, 24, is dealing with tendinitis in his right shoulder as well as a wrist injury. He was listed as questionable on the official injury report.

As a starter in his career, Huntley is 3-5. His injured shoulder hampered his performance this season, with Huntley completing just three passes of at least 20 yards in four starts.

When asked at Friday’s practice if he’s ready to return to the field, Huntley reported he has “no nerves.”

“Just excited to get back out there after missing one week,” Huntley said. “It’s a privilege to go out there and play football and I appreciate it.”

Meanwhile, the Ravens’ other backup quarterback, Brown, 24, is an undrafted rookie who’s made only one career start, last Sunday’s 27-16 loss to the Bengals. In that game, he threw for 286 yards with two interceptions and a fumble.

The two QBs have different strengths, with Brown the better passer while Huntley is more proficient at using the same run-oriented offense as Jackson.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh has been tight-lipped about the situation, declining to name a starter after Friday’s practice.

“We’ll see when the time comes,” Harbaugh said.

Jackson, who was ruled out for a sixth straight game with a left knee injury, “suffered a PCL Grade 2 sprain, on the borderline of a strain 3” and his knee “remains unstable,” according to Jackson’s own tweet on Thursday.

The Ravens enter Sunday night’s matchup against the defending AFC champion Bengals as a heavy underdog.

Lamar Jackson still not practicing, Tyler Huntley throws for Ravens

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is trending toward missing his sixth straight game after he didn’t participate in practice on Thursday.

Fellow quarterback Tyler Huntley, however, resumed throwing in the open portion of practice on Thursday, three days ahead of Sunday’s AFC wild-card game at Cincinnati. Huntley is dealing with tendinitis in his right throwing shoulder as well as a wrist injury.

Baltimore has been without Jackson since Dec. 4 due to a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in his knee. Jackson, 26, has not been available for football activities, including 17 straight on-field practices, since the injury. The typical recovery time for the injury is four to six weeks.

Multiple reports indicate Jackson is limited by swelling, which impacts his lateral mobility and straight-line speed.

Huntley stepped in for Jackson in the first quarter of the Dec. 4 game against the Denver Broncos and likely would get the call against the Bengals on Sunday. He started the four subsequent games.

The Ravens beat the Broncos, 10-9, in their Week 13 game and haven’t cleared 17 points since losing Jackson.

Jackson joined cornerback Brandon Stephens (illness), long snapper Nick Moore (illness) and offensive lineman Trystan Colon (undisclosed) in failing to participate in practice on Thursday.

Guard Ben Powers, left tackle Ronnie Stanley, defensive end Calais Campbell, and outside linebackers Jason Pierre-Paul and Justin Houston participated in practice on Thursday, one day after observing a rest day.

Running back Gus Edwards (concussion) was spotted wearing a red non-contact jersey and a protective guardian cap on his helmet during Thursday’s session.

Baltimore dropped the regular-season finale to the Bengals, 27-16, and has lost three of the past four entering the playoffs. Anthony Brown started and played the whole game in place of Huntley last week. The Ravens beat the Bengals, 19-17, on Oct. 9.

Ravens rookie Anthony Brown to start at QB

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Anthony Brown will make his first career start on Sunday against the host Cincinnati Bengals, with the team making Tyler Huntley inactive.

Huntley started the past four games with Lamar Jackson continuing to deal with a lingering injury.

NFL Network reported that the Ravens are sitting Huntley to give his shoulder and wrist injuries time to recover for the wild-card round of the playoffs next weekend, just in case Jackson can’t return.

Veteran Brett Hundley will back up Brown.

The Ravens (10-6) have clinched a playoff spot but have something on the line against the Bengals (11-4). Should both the Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers win, the NFL will conduct a coin flip to determine whether the Ravens or Bengals will host a wild-card game between the two teams. The NFL owners approved the unique solution because the Bengals won’t play a full 17-game season.

The game between the Bengals and Bills was canceled on Monday following the serious medical situation involving Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin, who went into cardiac arrest on the field.

He continues to recover in a Cincinnati hospital.

Brown, 24, played in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after Huntley sustained a concussion. He completed 3 of 5 passes for 16 yards. As a runner, he carried the ball three times and lost 5 yards.

He is an undrafted rookie free agent. He played three seasons at Boston College and then two at Oregon. In 2021, he threw for 2,989 yards, ran for 658 yards and registered a combined 28 touchdowns for the Ducks.
