The former QB of the Baltimore Ravens and former teammate of Ray Lewis will crack a deal as the head coach of UAB. The 50-year-old Trent Dilfer is a coach at Lipscomb Academy in Nashville. He was a terrific QB at Fresno State who then descended to achieve a career in the NFL. 

The Super Bowl-winning QB played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Baltimore Ravens, the Seattle Seahawks, the Cleveland Browns, and the San Francisco 49ers. 

Dilfer informed Lipscomb Academy about his new ventures. The UAB is busy organizing a team meeting on Wednesday to welcome him. 

Dilfer was also an ESPN analyst. In 1994, Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted him as the No. 6 overall pick. In 2000, the Ravens signed him as the backup QB for Tony Banks. Eventually, Dilfer replaced Banks. Under him, the team won a Super Bowl title. However, the team did not re-sign him. He is the only QB who to let go after lifting the Lombardi trophy. In 2008, he announced his retirement. 

Ray Lewis recalled the biggest mistake the Baltimore Ravens made 

In 2018, the former Ravens linebacker went on television with Colin Cowherd to talk about one of the most discussed deals of the year. The analyst and the athlete talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars’ contract extension for Blake Bortles.

Lewis revealed the Ravens made the biggest mistake when they moved on from Trent Dilfer after they won Super Bowl XXXV. Because Lewis has been a huge part of the Baltimore Ravens (he was with the team when they won two Super Bowl rings), whatever he said should be considered with respect.

The legendary LB said that the team knew what the QB had to offer to them. Even though there might be better players, the most important thing is to know what a team has and what it can do with its roster. 

The Super Bowl champ emphasized an important point. When the team had a QB who took them to the AFC Championship Game and to the Super Bowl, then why did they feel the need to not extend his contract? Because winning matters the most.
