Ravens Acquire Cam Jurgens From Eagles in Offensive Line Trade

The Baltimore Ravens acquired center Cam Jurgens from the Philadelphia Eagles in a 2026 NFL trade that sent a 2028 second-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick to Philadelphia, with the Eagles sending back a 2027 seventh-round pick. The move addresses Baltimore's center injuries while Philadelphia gains draft assets and salary flexibility. According to the Ravens, Jurgens is expected to miss his first opportunity to play after entering concussion protocol.

Head coach Jesse Minter said the team anticipates the center being ready the following week after learning the offense. "Excited about adding him. He's obviously a very high-caliber player," said Jesse Minter, Ravens head coach.

"[He is] excited to be here, excited to join our team, and so we look forward to that." said Jesse Minter, Ravens head coach.

Jurgens was drafted by Philadelphia as a successor to Jason Kelce and became a two-time Pro Bowl center after taking over the starting role in 2024. Baltimore believes his athletic ability fits its offensive approach. "[Jurgens] is a great player. I watched his game a lot, too," said Vega Ioane, Ravens offensive lineman.

Ioane moved from right guard to center after multiple injuries at the position and is expected to return to guard once Jurgens is available. The Ravens said his experience across different offensive systems helped make him an attractive addition. "He's an athletic guy.

You can get him out in space. Even in tight zone situations, things like that, he comes off the ball. He's a mauler, too.

He's a smart player. That's why we picked him up." said Vega Ioane, Ravens offensive lineman.

Philadelphia executive vice president and general manager Howie Roseman said the trade gave the Eagles resources while keeping their long-term plans in focus. Philadelphia now has additional draft selections for future roster building. "We weren't looking to move Cam.

Obviously, the Ravens have been looking for a center. And I kind of told them that wasn't anything we were looking to do. Over the last 24 hours, it got to the point where we felt like it could be a win-win for them and for the Eagles." said Howie Roseman, Eagles executive vice president and general manager.

Roseman said Philadelphia is preparing a younger offensive line after injuries and Lane Johnson's retirement changed the unit. The Eagles are expected to use new combinations as they continue the 2026 season.
