SALT LAKE CITY – Former Utah Utes and current Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley plans to sign his restricted free agent tender on Monday, April 24, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The NFL insider reported Huntley’s plans on Friday, April 21.

“The #Ravens’ Pro Bowl QB isn’t going anywhere: Snoop Huntley plans to sign his restricted tender Monday, per source,” Pelissero tweeted. “Huntley has been working out at the team facility and heads to Tampa this weekend to throw with teammates. Baltimore’s other QB, Lamar Jackson, remains unsigned.”

Baltimore placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on the former Utah standout in March.

He’s spent the majority of his time in Baltimore as the backup to former NFL MVP Lamar Jackson but has started games sparingly. The Ravens placed their non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson this offseason. Jackson has yet to agree to the tag or sign a new deal with the Ravens or another team.

Last season, Huntley helped the Ravens earn a playoff berth in the Wild Card round. He threw for 658 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions during the regular season. Huntley also ran for 137 yards and a touchdown.

After the 2022 regular season, the former Ute was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster as an alternate. Huntley threw four touchdown passes during the Pro Bowl Games.
