Falcons Trade Starting Center Ryan Neuzil to Ravens

Atlanta sent Neuzil to Baltimore in exchange for Vorhees and a future draft pick. Neuzil started all nine of Atlanta’s games this season after becoming the team’s starting center last year. His contract expires after this season, and the deal gives the Falcons a return before he can reach free agency.

Neuzil recovered two fumbles and was penalized once this season. He ranked sixth among centers in 2025 by Pro Football Focus grades and is 16th this year. The Falcons are likely to use Corey Levin, a Dacula native, to take over at center.

Vorhees, 27, has starting experience on the interior line. He started all 17 games for Baltimore in 2025, but has played 81 snaps as a reserve guard this season. The Falcons have now traded both Neuzil and safety Jessie Bates III ahead of the deadline; Bates went to Jacksonville earlier this week in exchange for a 2027 second-round selection and a fifth-round pick in 2028. Atlanta also added a sixth-round selection in the Neuzil deal as it reshapes its roster and builds toward the 2027 offseason.
