Mark Andrews

The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec writes that the Ravens could consider trading or extending Mark Andrews this offseason.

A wide gamut of possibilities. The basic crux of the situation is that Andrews has a $17 million cap hit and moving on from him would save the cap-strapped Ravens $11 million in cap room. Zrebiec writes that it “seems highly unlikely” Andrews would be released, but that the team could consider trading him “if they can get back quality draft capital in return” or extending him in a move that would lower his 2025 cap figure. Ominously, Zrebiec ends the section talking about Isaiah Likely entering the final year of his rookie deal and writes “it would be very hard to have both Andrews and Likely on big-money tight end deals.” It sure reads like there’s some rubber that needs to meet the road on Andrews’ contract this year, even if, as Zrebiec concedes, it would “be nearly impossible to say the Ravens would be better” without Andrews.
