THE NFL draft can be unpredictable, not only with regard to which will be written when, but also Regarding players already in the league. Could 2025 NFL draft See a major business involving one of the quarter Lamar Jackson favorite targets?
While Baltimore Ravens Head coach John Harbaugh said last month that he expects a tight end Mark Andrews Be a member of the team in 2025 – “He is simply too good player” – The managing director Eric Decosta was less like a veteran.
When asked if there was a possibility of exchanging Andrews during the project, Decosta would not say in both cases.
“Oh guy. I never know what will happen … I would never want to say this or that ”, he said. “But I can tell you this: Mark Andrews is a warrior. And he played his buttocks for us and his competitiveness, his talent, his attitude, his leadership is so valued here. And he is a great player … We are keeping as many players as possible. There is always a lot of unpredictability with the project.
The three -year Bowler’s three -year pro entering the last year of his contract and is expected to earn $ 7 million as a base salary with $ 16.9 million against the ceiling. Trade or release of the 29 -year -old man could save $ 11 million in Ravens against the ceiling.
Decosta did not address a potential contract extension for the ball carrier DERRICK Henryeither. Regarding Henry and Andrews, he said he prefers to keep these conversations behind closed doors.
“So we have a lot of different bullets in the air right now,” said Decosta. “This is probably what I would say about it. I’m not going to talk about what we are doing, what we don’t do behind the scenes with these guys. I don’t think it’s good for me to do it.”
If they decide to go from Andrews, the team still has ProbablyWho had career summits in receptions (42), yards to receive (477) and Touché (six) last season. In the last year, he entered his recruit contract as a fourth round recovery choice in 2022.
Andrews, meanwhile, totaled 55 catches for 673 yards and a career summit of 11 affected a year ago. Unfortunately for him, his season remembers SURT Buffalo bills. A plug finished would have equaled the match with less than two minutes to play.
Andrews is a crow for life, joining the team in 2018 as a third round choice. The old All-Pro is third in the history of the reception franchise (436), second of reception yards (5,530) and First of the touchdown (51).
Here are three teams that could be a good choice for Andrews if the Ravens decide to move on:
The colts had trouble in the final position tight last season, ranking n ° 31 in yards with 467 in total of their tes. Indy Does not have a solid quarter situation in 2025, and if it is Daniel Jones Or Anthony RichardsonThe offensive could use a veteran recipient like Andrews to stimulate production. Last season, Kylen Granson led the team from the tight ends, arriving at only 14 receptions in total with 182 yards.
The Bears expected a lot from their attack behind the quarter recruit Caleb WilliamsBut a dull season which included the dismissal of Head coach Matt Eberflus Did not do as they had planned. The team hired the old Lions Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson This offseason, taking his first concert as head coach. With Detroit, Johnson was able to obtain a solid job of his starry final presence Sam LaportaAnd as an offensive spirit coach could easily adapt another tight end in his plans. Chicago has Cole Kmet Like their tight end n ° 1 at the moment; He finished last season with 474 yards on 47 receptions.
The jets are another team that had trouble in the category of tight ends in 2024, arriving at n ° 26 in the yards league from tight ends (601). They also enter a new era with a new head coach in Aaron Glenn and a new quarter-rear in Justin Fields. The offensive has never seemed to start last year under the future professional of renown of professional football Aaron RodgersWith whom the team decided to separate after the year. Tyler Conklin was the best tight end of the team in 2024, finishing with 449 yards and 51 receptions.
