Ravens GM Unsure If Mark Andrews Will Remain with Team, 'You Just Never Know'

The Baltimore Ravens are keeping the door open on Mark Andrews' potential exit this offseason.

Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said at Baltimore's predraft press conference that "you never know" what might happen leading up to the draft.

"His competitiveness, his talent, his attitude, his leadership is so valued here," DeCosta said, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "He's a great player. And I think we're in the business of keeping as many great players as we can. So, there's always a lot of unpredictability with the draft. You just never know."

While he couldn't commit to saying whether Andrews will stay with the team, DeCosta had high praise for the tight end.

"I never know what's going to happen," DeCosta said. "And I would never want to say this or that. But, I can tell you this: Mark Andrews is a warrior. He's played his butt off for us."

Andrews, who has been with the Ravens since he was drafted in 2018, is entering the final year of a four-year contract and is set to be a free agent next offseason.

The 29-year-old had 673 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns last year. While it was a career high in touchdowns, the 2024 season marked the second-lowest yards per game total, only behind his rookie year.

He also dropped a catch on a two-point conversion attempt in the divisional-round playoff matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The catch would have tied the game late in the fourth quarter, but it instead resulted in backlash from Ravens fans.

While the 2024 season wasn't his best, Andrews has had three Pro Bowl seasons and has been with quarterback Lamar Jackson his entire career. Trading him would mean parting ways with a centerpiece of the organization over the last seven years.
