BALTIMORE – According to reports, former Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley has found his home for the 2024 NFL season.
After getting released by the Cleveland Browns at the roster cutdown deadline, Huntley will return to a familiar place and resign with the Baltimore Ravens.
Sources say Tyler Huntley is en route to the #Ravens facility and will sign shortly.

Huntley spent the first four years of his professional career in Baltimore.
Mainly serving as a backup to NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, the former Ute played in 20 games over four seasons. In his time as a Raven, Huntley connected on 221 of his 342 pass attempts for 1,957 yards and eight touchdowns.
This move makes sense for Huntley and Baltimore for multiple reasons. He is already a favorite amongst Ravens fans and players and he fits in the offensive scheme well.

The Ravens have built their offense around Jackson ever since he emerged as a top QB in the league in 2019. He is as dangerous with his legs as he is with his arm — if not more so.
Huntley’s playstyle is strikingly similar to Jackson’s. Whether it’s throwing on the run or picking up extra yards when the opposing pass coverage is tight, both of the Ravens QBs are best described as dual threats.
When Huntley was released by the Browns, it was never really a question if he would get picked up. It was just a matter of where.
Huntley and the Ravens kick off their 2024 season against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, September 5.
