Risk & Opportunity Analysis (5 flags)

Roster Spot Risk
Pavia was waived before the 2026 season after losing a camp quarterback competition to veterans Tyler Huntley and Skylar Thompson plus fellow UDFA Joe Fagnano, and remained unsigned as of the reports closest to the season opener.
Depth Chart Access
With no roster attachment, any path back to relevance runs through a practice-squad tryout or an emergency-arm workout — there is currently no depth chart to climb.
Scheme Fit
His college profile leaned heavily on scramble-and-throw production at Vanderbilt, and that game hasn't translated into a won roster spot or in-season reps at the NFL level yet.

Roster Reentry
In-season quarterback injuries around the league routinely create practice-squad and workout opportunities for available arms, and Pavia's rushing/off-script ability is the kind of trait that can get a look.
Non-NFL Optionality
Reporting has floated a potential college-eligibility route back to Vanderbilt as a fallback if the NFL path stays closed, which would reset his long-term value proposition entirely rather than support current dynasty value.
