Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is entering free agency this offseason and could be looking for a new home.

Baltimore has a logjam at quarterback right now with Lamar Jackson the incumbent starter, and Malik Cunningham and Josh Johnson already under contract to back him up.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (2) scrambles with the ball against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the first quarter at Acrisure Stadium.

Huntley could be the odd man out.

Right up I-70 and I-76 is a team in need of a quality veteran backup. The Steelers have traded away Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett after the signing of veteran Russell Wilson. That leaves a hole at the QB2 position, and Huntley could fill that hole nicely for the Steelers.

Huntley has spent the past four seasons with Baltimore, mostly serving as Jackson's backup, but he brings plenty of experience along the way.

The former Utah Ute notched 20 appearances in those four seasons, including nine starts.

In 2021, "Snoop," as he's sometimes called by teammates, threw for 1,081 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions while completing 64.9 percent of his throws in seven appearances and four starts.

He was also efficient on the ground with 294 yards on 47 carries and two more touchdowns.

The veteran even earned a Pro Bowl bid in 2022 after subbing for an injured Jackson during the end of the season, when he threw for 658 yards, two scores and three picks across six games and four starts.

He added 137 yards on the ground and another touchdown too.
