3 Mark Andrews trade packages that could move the needle before 2025 NFL draft

Mark Andrews is entering a contract year in 2025, and trade speculation surrounding him has recently emerged. Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta would not directly confirm such notions in a presser on Tuesday, but he did allude to the unpredictability that comes with draft week:

However, assuming that trade does become likely, there is some sense. Behind their three-time Pro Bowler, the Ravens have a pair of younger tight ends who came from the same draft class and are also entering a contract year: Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, whom the team could employ in a receiver/blocker 12 personnel formation.

That will render Andrews expendable, but there are teams who will be willing to take him in.

3 best trade packages involving Ravens TE Mark Andrews

3) Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons may soon be running out of patience with Kyle Pitts. He was expected to be a major contributor to their projected rise to NFC South overlords but instead found himself being supplanted in importance by team newcomer Charlie Woerner, who proved himself one of the best run-blockers in all of football despite putting up negligible stats.

But because today's NFL is a passing league, the team still needs a pass-catching tight end. Maybe the presence of someone like Mark Andrews can motivate Pitts to find his real potential.

2) New York Jets

The New York Jets look promising in 2025. A new head coach/general manager tandem in Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey, a new quarterback in Justin Fields, and a pair of decent weapons in Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson - now they just need a top-tier tight end to succeed Tyler Conklin.

Andrews could be the answer to that. Injuries have sapped him of some of his production, but he is still a very significant upgrade from the likes of Zack Kuntz and Jeremy Ruckert.

1) Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams welcomed Tyler Higbee back from his Achilles tear late last season, but the depth at his position raised doubts as he continues to age.

Hunter Long, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen proved to be non-factors in Sean McVay and Mike LaFleur's offense. And with Cooper Kupp gone, the team could use a big-bodied complement to Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, whom most cornerbacks will be too small and frail to stop.
