The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec<\/a> said the situation is at a crisis point.<\/p>\n“Playing Ioane at center is not an ideal long-term solution because of what the Ravens lose by not having him at right guard,” Zrebiec wrote. “However, finding outside help is complicated by the fact that a number of teams are dealing with center injuries, so there’s not much available on the free-agent market.”<\/p>\n
Zrebiec named James Daniels, Graham Glasgow, Andre James, and Nick Harris as potential free-agent options.<\/p>\n
“Those guys have not been with teams in recent months, so they’d presumably need extended ramp-ups before they are ready to play,” Zrebiec wrote. “The Ravens probably need more immediate help.<\/p>\n
“The Ravens will likely scour other rosters and practice squads, along with available free agents, to see if they can find a decent center fit at an affordable price. They also have the option of committing to Ioane at center for the foreseeable future and just adding a starting-caliber guard to join Andrew Vorhees and Emery Jones Jr. as potential right guard replacements.”<\/p>\n
Zrebiec identified Chicago Bears center Garrett Bradbury as an “intriguing potential trade option.”<\/p>\n
“The Ravens inquired about Bradbury, who played under Offensive Line Coach Dwayne Ledford at North Carolina State, after the Bears used a second-round pick on Iowa center Logan Jones in the 2026 NFL Draft,” Zrebiec wrote. “The Bears, though, didn’t want to give up their offensive line depth, so the Ravens turned to Pocic. It’s unclear whether Chicago’s stance has changed.”<\/p>\n
Bradbury, 31, has taken every snap this season. Jones has played exclusively on special teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Center has been a position of strength and stability for the Ravens after drafting Tyler Linderbaum in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":864880,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[230959,257,2593,17263,2589,349,99],"class_list":["post-864879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-garrett-bradbury","tag-general","tag-homepage-latest-headlines","tag-inline-news","tag-late-for-work","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=864879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864879\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/864880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=864879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=864879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=864879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
