The Baltimore Ravens traded with the Philadelphia Eagles for two-time Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens on Wednesday, filling a desperate need at that position for Baltimore. The Ravens sent a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round selection to the Eagles in exchange for Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-rounder. Baltimore has been trying all year to fill the void left by Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum, who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in March.
Jurgens, 27, is under contract through the 2029 season. "Cam is a player we have long admired going all the way back to the draft process," Ravens general manager Eric De Costa said in a statement. The trade is the second major change in consecutive days for the Eagles' offensive line following All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson's retirement.
The Ravens are hoping the addition of Jurgens will stop the revolving door at center. In late August, Danny Pinter suffered a season-ending knee injury, and in Baltimore's win in Rio, the Ravens lost top centers Jovaughn Gwyn and Ethan Pocic. This marks the Ravens' first major trade since Baltimore backed out of a deal for edge rusher Maxx Crosby.
