Undrafted free agent Diego Pounds, who was competing for a roster spot on the Ravens' offensive line, has been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Ravens received a conditional 2028 sixth-round pick in exchange.

The move was made official on roster cutdown day, as the Ravens had tough decisions to make on their offensive line.

Ravens second-year offensive lineman Carson Vinson won the job to be the backup left tackle and possible swing tackle behind Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten.

The 6-foot-6, 335-pound Pounds was the second-highest graded offensive tackle in the NFL in the preseason, per Pro Football Focus, and had a particularly strong second preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Pounds started 24 games at left tackle for Ole Miss over the past two seasons.
