Atlanta changes the middle of its line
The Falcons agreed Tuesday, November 10, to trade starting center Ryan Neuzil to the Baltimore Ravens for guard Andrew Vorhees and an additional draft selection, creating an immediate opening at center before Sunday’s home game against Kansas City. The agreement came just before the NFL trade deadline. Atlanta gains a guard with starting experience and another draft asset, but moves on from the player who had anchored its center position since taking over during the 2024 season.
Levin next in line at center
Corey Levin is the likely replacement for the Week 10 matchup with the Chiefs on November 15. He had been listed behind Neuzil through Atlanta’s first nine games, though he has not been officially named the starter. The Falcons also signed center Gus Hartwig to the practice squad. Hartwig made 48 starts at Purdue. The immediate adjustment is at center, not guard. Vorhees brings experience at a different position, leaving Atlanta to establish who will handle center snaps after Neuzil’s departure.
Vorhees brings starting experience
Vorhees arrives with 22 NFL starts. He started all 17 games for Baltimore in 2025, then appeared in five games with two starts in 2026 before the trade agreement. The former USC guard entered the league as Baltimore’s seventh-round selection in 2023 after tearing his ACL at the NFL Scouting Combine. His addition gives Atlanta another experienced guard. The draft selection adds a future option alongside him.
Neuzil leaves an established role
Neuzil joined Atlanta as an undrafted free agent in 2021 and totaled 69 appearances and 38 starts for the Falcons. He became the regular center after Drew Dalman missed time in 2024, then retained the job through 2025 and into 2026. His contract was in its final year. In Baltimore, Neuzil reunites with offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford, who coached Atlanta’s offensive linemen from 2021 through 2025. The deal follows Atlanta’s November 9 agreement to send safety Jessie Bates III to Jacksonville for future draft picks. The two trades are separate moves.
