Mark Andrews: Everything you need to know

Andrews said Wednesday that he expects "a lot of opportunities in this offense" after fellow tight ends Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar left the Ravens this offseason, NFL.com reports. More help is probably on the way, but so far Baltimore has only signed blocking specialist Durham Smythe to help replace Likely (Giants) and Kolar (Chargers) at tight end. The Ravens also lost long-time fullback Patrick Ricard, who followed Likely and coach John Harbaugh to New York. Andrews, meanwhile, is entering the first season of the three-year extension he signed in December, with his 2026 compensation fully guaranteed and his 2027 salary partially guaranteed ($5 million out of $9 million). The Ravens clearly have him ticketed for a key role under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, but that doesn't mean Andrews will approach his peak volume (or production). He'll turn 31 in September, coming off back-to-back seasons with less than 4.5 targets and 40 yards per game. Even the TD production slipped in 2025, with Andrews posting a 48-422-5 receiving line (compared to 55-673-11 in 2024) while finishing with career-low marks for yards per catch (8.8) and yards per target (6.0).

Andrews caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Steelers. He finished the season with 48 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns on 70 targets, adding 10 rushes for 48 yards and a score. Andrews's quiet finish to the season mirrored his mostly disappointing 2025 campaign, in which the tight end saw a drop in receptions, yards, and touchdowns from last season. Despite the relatively down year, the veteran is clearly a part of the Ravens' plans for the future, as he agreed to a three-year extension in early December. With that said, teammate Isaiah Likely is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, yet it is unclear whether Baltimore will make an effort to resign him. His potential departure could mean an uptick in work for Andrews, as the two capped each other's potential this season in what was a rocky year for the Ravens offensively. The 30-year-old will look to have get back to his normal level of production next season as a key part of the Ravens' offensive attack.

Andrews recorded four receptions on four targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Packers. Andrews finished second on the team in targets, though there was limited opportunity due to Baltimore attempting only 20 passes. Tyler Huntley also worked almost exclusively in short areas of the field, limiting Andrews' longest reception to only nine yards. He now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in four straight contests and in five of his last six matchups.
