What happened: Pavia did not stick on an NFL roster for the 2026 season. He is now planning a UFL run in 2027. His camp says negotiations with the league are currently underway.

Why it matters: Sitting as a free agent since July left him without live reps to develop. A starting role in spring ball offers real snaps instead of another camp audition. That playing time gives him a clearer path to show he can lead an offense.
