Zrebiec couches this in a prediction that the Ravens will trade Andrews during the draft, but the way it is framed suggests the reporter doesn’t necessarily believe it will happen, as he says it “doesn’t feel likely.” The Ravens, per Zrebiec, want “strong value” in return for Andrews. With both Andrews and Dallas Goedert reportedly available, teams looking at the veteran tight ends are probably dealing from a position of strength at this point. Andrews remains a name to watch as we head into the final week before the draft.

“I can tell you this, Mark Andrews is a warrior. He’s a great player and we’re in the business of keeping as many great players as we can,” DeCosta continued. It’s a bit of a departure from John Harbaugh saying he “fully expected” Andrews to be here in late March. Reading between the lines, it sounds like Andrews may be available in a trade but that nobody has really given the Ravens an offer they’d consider feasible. We’d bet on Andrews returning still, but it is noteworthy that DeCosta wouldn’t commit to it.

“He’s just too good of a player,” Harbaugh added. The Ravens have said all the right things on keeping Andrews this offseason despite a trade making some sense. It’s possible Baltimore works out an extension. With Isaiah Likely in the final year of his rookie contract, it’s also possible that Baltimore simply lets Andrews play out the final year of his contract and then works to re-sign the younger Likely. Either way, with the threat of a trade seemingly gone, Andrews remains a TE1 for fantasy purposes heading into the draft.

Andrews was a salary cap-related cut candidate entering the 2025 offseason, with March 15th serving as a soft deadline. Starting at 4:00 pm on Saturday, the Ravens had 24 hours to decide whether they would release him or allow his roster bonus to toll. They chose the latter option. The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec notes that the Ravens could still trade Andrews, if a “legit offer” came their way, but for now it appears as though the 29-year-old tight end will return for his eighth season with the team.
