Danny Pinter has officially signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens, marking a significant transition after his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts. The deal is valued at $2.25 million, with a maximum potential value of $2.75 million.
Pinter, who was selected in the fifth round (No. 149 overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Colts, has been a consistent presence on the field since his arrival. He played a crucial role in 2024, appearing in 14 games and starting at center in Weeks 13 and 15, where he achieved a career-high Pro Football Focus (PFF) overall grade of 82.9.
Despite his promising performance in 2024, Pinter faced challenges in 2023, missing most of the season due to a fractured left ankle. In 2025, he played only 139 snaps in a reserve role, earning a PFF grade of 56.5 across six appearances.
Throughout his career, Pinter has remained with teams based in Indiana, having played college football at Ball State and growing up in South Bend. His experience and versatility will be valuable to the Ravens, particularly following the departure of Tyler Linderbaum, as the team seeks to bolster its offensive line.
Pinter completed a four-year rookie deal worth $3,643,698, which included a signing bonus of $348,696. His move to the Ravens represents a new chapter in his career, as he aims to regain his form and contribute effectively to his new team.
As the Ravens look to enhance their roster, Pinter’s addition is seen as a strategic move to secure a more experienced veteran center. Observers will be watching closely to see how he adapts to his new environment and what impact he will have on the Ravens’ offensive line in the upcoming season.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding how Pinter will fit into the Ravens’ overall strategy and depth chart as the team prepares for the next season.
