The Baltimore Ravens were planning to bring Diego Pavia in as a rookie minicamp tryout player.
Instead, they've given the former Vanderbilt QB a whole contract to secure his future.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news on Tuesday afternoon:
The three-year contract actually isn't entirely out of the blue. The Ravens also signed UConn undrafted free agent QB Joe Fagnano to a three-year deal earlier in the day.
It also makes a lot of sense when you dig into it.

This comes down to expressing at least some belief in Pavia.
It had been reported that there was interest from other teams in bringing Pavia into their rookie minicamps once the Ravens' camp concluded.
By signing Pavia to this deal, Baltimore prevents him from getting in front of other teams.
Contracts in the NFL aren't as binding as they are in some other sports. It's easy enough for the Ravens to release Pavia later this summer if they want.
But for now, they've prevented him from slipping away to another team. It suggests they want to make sure they get a long enough look at him to have a proper evaluation.
Pavia may be short, but he's talented and has a lot of self-belief. There's a chance he could make an NFL career for himself.
The Ravens simply don't want to give up on that possibility too quickly.
The Ravens decided to sign Diego Pavia to a three-year contract to secure his future instead of just having him as a rookie minicamp tryout player.
The Ravens also signed UConn undrafted free agent QB Joe Fagnano to a three-year deal on the same day.
Signing Diego Pavia indicates the Ravens' commitment to strengthening their quarterback depth and investing in potential talent.
