Ravens Sign Veteran Center Ethan Pocic To One-Year Deal

The short-term addition gives Baltimore an experienced option while coaches monitor Pocic’s Achilles recovery in camp.

Overview

  • Ethan Pocic agreed to a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens that was reported on July 17, 2026 and is valued at up to $4.5 million.
  • Pocic is medically cleared for training camp after tearing his Achilles in the 2025 season, but the team will watch his workload and lower-body strength during practices.
  • The 30-year-old brings nine NFL seasons and 97 career starts with Seattle and Cleveland, supplying experience in making presnap protection calls and run-blocking assignments.
  • Pocic’s arrival replaces the immediate hole left by Tyler Linderbaum’s free-agency move to the Las Vegas Raiders and reshapes a competition that included Danny Pinter, Jovaughn Gwyn and Nick Dawkins.
  • The one-year deal limits Baltimore’s risk while giving the offense a veteran who could stabilize interior protection for Lamar Jackson and preserve the team’s running-game identity if his recovery holds up.
