The Ravens are signing former Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, adding some veteran depth after signing undrafted rookies Diego Pavia and Joey Fagnano last week.
Thompson, 28, was a seventh-round pick out of Kansas State in 2022. He spent the first three seasons of his career in Miami before signing with Pittsburgh last year, though he did not appear in a game. In Baltimore, he will vie for the third-string quarterback job behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.

Thompson started three games as a rookie due to injuries to Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater, including a valiant 34-31 Wild Card loss to the Bills in the playoffs. He did not see any time in 2023 and made one start the following year with Tagovailoa sidelined by another concussion. The Dolphins then signed Huntley and relied on him as their QB2 for the rest of the year with Thompson once again relegated to the bench. He was waived in December and finished the year on Miami’s practice squad before signing a reserve/futures deal with the Steelers in the offseason.
An impressive preseason in Pittsburgh catapulted Thompson to a 53-man roster spot and could have positioned him as Aaron Rodgers’ backup. However, a hamstring injury forced him onto injured reserve in September, and he did not play for the rest of the season.
Thompson arrives in Baltimore with less-than-inspiring career numbers, including a 58.7% completion rate, a 66.1 passer rating, and an average of just 5.2 yards per attempt. He is a passable athlete who will not offer much in the run game or as a playmaker behind the line of scrimmage. Of course, he brings veteran experience that the Ravens may find more valuable than developing Pavia or Fagnano. Adding Thompson also gives the team flexibility to release one of those UDFAs while still having enough arms for OTAs.
