Things just got tougher for Diego Pavia.
The high-profile former Vanderbilt QB who is now trying to win a roster spot with the Baltimore Ravens was already competing for just one spot with another quarterback.
Now, he's battling two.
The Ravens signed veteran journeyman Skylar Thompson on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Thompson isn't a starting-level QB at this point, but he's got the mobility that should allow him to learn the Ravens' offense and fit in if ever called upon.

Pavia will now have to prove he has enough potential to be worth developing as a possible QB3 over a veteran who the Ravens will be more sure what they're getting with.
The signing adds another competitor for the single roster spot Pavia is vying for, making his chances of making the team slimmer.
Pavia is now competing against two quarterbacks for a spot on the Ravens' roster.
Diego Pavia is a former quarterback from Vanderbilt University.

Tyler Huntley is locked in as Jackson's backup.
That leaves the QB3 role, and potentially a practice squad spot, up for grabs.
Thompson now will have a legitimate chance at the third quarterback role, and he likely wouldn't have signed with Baltimore if he didn't believe that.
Pavia is one of two undrafted rookie QBs on board, along with UConn's Joe Fagnano.
Thompson likely wouldn't end up on the practice squad, so Pavia's best hope may be to beat out Fagnano for the practice squad.
But all told, Thompson's signing makes the path at least a little bit more difficult.
