Eagles Trade Cam Jurgens to Ravens for Draft Picks

Philadelphia deals the two-time Pro Bowl center and a 2027 seventh-rounder to Baltimore for a 2027 fifth and 2028 second.

By Cole Hartwell

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded offensive lineman Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for multiple draft picks. The Ravens will also receive a 2027 seventh-round pick, while the Eagles get a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick, according to CBS Sports and other sources.

What happened

The Ravens were in desperate need of center help after losing their top three options at the position to injuries. Danny Pinter suffered a torn patellar tendon in training camp, ending his season. Jovaughn Gwyn injured his ankle and Ethan Pocic injured his knee in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys, per CBS Sports. This forced first-round pick Vega Ioane to move from right guard to center.

Jurgens, a two-time Pro Bowler, should immediately solve the issue when healthy. He is currently in concussion protocol after self-reporting symptoms on Monday, according to Yahoo Sports. He is not expected to play in Week 5, but should make his Ravens debut in Week 6 against the Browns, according to Pro Football Rumors.

Context

Jurgens was drafted 51st overall by the Eagles in 2022 out of Nebraska. He replaced Jason Kelce at center in 2024 and earned Pro Bowl honors in each of the last two seasons. He signed a four-year, $68 million extension in April 2025, per Pro Football Rumors.

However, 2026 has been a struggle for Jurgens. He moved to left guard after Landon Dickerson was placed on injured reserve following Week 1. Jurgens struggled at the new position, ranking as Pro Football Focus’ second-worst guard among 74 qualifiers, according to Pro Football Rumors. The Eagles had shifted him from center to left guard, where he had no previous experience, per Yahoo Sports.

The Eagles’ offensive line has undergone sudden changes. Right tackle Lane Johnson announced his immediate retirement on Tuesday, and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland departed in February after 13 years with the team.

What’s next

For the Ravens, the immediate plan is to start Vega Ioane at center for a second straight game against the Falcons on Sunday, with Jurgens expected to make his debut in Week 6 against the Browns. For the Eagles, Drew Kendall is expected to remain at center, while Willie Lampkin could make his first career start at left guard against the Jaguars in London.

🏈 Fantasy impact

The Jurgens trade is unlikely to have immediate fantasy significance for individual players, but it matters for offensive line stability. For the Ravens, this move should solidify the center position once Jurgens returns, potentially boosting Lamar Jackson’s pass protection and the effectiveness of Derrick Henry and the running game. For the Eagles, the offensive line is now missing Lane Johnson and Jurgens, and with Landon Dickerson on IR, Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts could face more pressure. Fantasy managers should monitor how the Eagles’ new line performs, especially in the run game. If you have Barkley, his value may dip slightly until the line gels, but he remains a must-start. As for quarterbacks, both Jackson and Hurts have enough rushing upside to remain elite options regardless.

Quick answers

Why did the Eagles trade Cam Jurgens?

The Eagles traded Jurgens despite his Pro Bowl history because he had struggled at left guard after moving from center, and the team received valuable draft picks in return. According to Pro Football Rumors, Jurgens ranked as PFF's second-worst guard this season.

Who will replace Cam Jurgens at center for the Eagles?

Drew Kendall, a 2025 fifth-round pick, has been starting at center and is expected to continue in that role, according to Pro Football Rumors.

When will Cam Jurgens make his Ravens debut?

Jurgens is in concussion protocol and is not expected to play in Week 5 against the Falcons. He should make his Ravens debut in Week 6 against the Browns, per Pro Football Rumors.
