The Atlanta Falcons have traded starting center Ryan Neuzil to the Baltimore Ravens for guard Andrew Vorhees and a 2028 sixth-round draft pick.
According to PFF, Atlanta had a top-10 offensive line this season, including strong run blocking for running back Bijan Robinson. Neuzil had not been playing well in run blocking, ranking as the No. 20 center in the NFL in that area. With him now going to the Ravens, the Falcons are expected to start veteran Corey Levin at center.

Baltimore has dealt with numerous injuries on offense, including on the offensive line. As a unit, they haven’t performed well, especially in pass protection. Neuzil was mediocre in pass protection for Atlanta, but that would be an upgrade for the Ravens right now. Vorhees is not a significant loss for them, since he was a backup with minimal reps.
Both teams have a chance to make the playoffs this season. The Falcons sit at the bottom of the division at 3-6, but they are only a half-game behind the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints, both at 3-5. Baltimore is also at the bottom of their division with a 4-5 record, but with new quarterback Jacoby Brissett, they have a chance to string together some wins and get back in playoff contention.
