The Baltimore Ravens want the All-Pro Hall of Famer back for another season but he might request a trade either way.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Baltimore Ravens will probably retain All-Pro tight end\u00a0Mark Andrews, but he may seek a trade this offseason.\u00a0According to an official report,\u00a0the Ravens are not looking to trade the future Hall of Famer as he\u2019s just \u201ctoo good as a player.\u201d Andrews was the\u00a0subject of trade rumors last season, and it became a reoccurring theme throughout the offseason that it might happen. However, the former Pro Bowler hasn\u2019t been as consistent in recent memory and given his injury for the first time in his career, he wasn\u2019t the same pass catcher as before.<\/p>\n

Originally selected in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the former Oklahoma product spent his entire NFL tenure with the team after becoming a second-stringer behind Hayden Hurst before eventually winning the starting job. Andrews became one of the most versatile, talented tight ends in the league until he lost his job due to injuries and the emergence of standout\u00a0Isaiah Likely. He hasn\u2019t been the starter for the past two seasons, so the Ravens could use this opportunity to find a trade partner, but it might be Andrews who will probably want to request it.<\/p>\n

Andrews isn\u2019t going to win his starting spot again unless Likely suffers an injury. It\u2019s Likely\u2019s job, and there might not be enough room for Andrews, who could probably still be a starter if the opportunity arises. Here are five trade fits that may make that happen.<\/p>\n

REPORT: Ravens Expected to Retain All-Pro Mark Andrews, Could Seek Trade<\/h2>\n

Possible Next Teams<\/h3>\n

Kansas City Chiefs<\/h4>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Ravens won\u2019t trade Andrews to their rival Kansas City, but if he becomes available via free agency, they will probably become high candidates for him.\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0is\u00a0returning for what will most likely be his final season\u00a0in the league, so they need a capable replacement. Andrews may have been inconsistent the past two seasons, but with new scenery, he could be a viable option for the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Chargers<\/h4>\n

There was speculation that the Chargers could target Mark Andrews, but\u00a0they got Tyler Conklin instead. He\u2019s on a one-year deal, so it\u2019s possible the team is just testing the waters. The Chargers need a consistent pass-catcher in the worst possible way, even if it\u2019s a long-term tight end like Andrews. They will still need to search for a wide receiver, but it\u2019s doable.<\/p>\n

They could bring out something in Andrews if he becomes available.<\/p>\n

Dallas Cowboys<\/h4>\n

For the Cowboys, they\u2019re in a weird place. It seems like they\u2019re reluctant to get a new pass catcher for quarterback Dak Prescott, who\u2019s been training hard this offseason.\u00a0Jake Ferguson\u00a0was out for most of the season last year, so they could trade for Andrews to keep the wheel moving if he can\u2019t stay healthy.<\/p>\n

Washington Commanders<\/h4>\n

Zach Ertz\u00a0is\u00a0coming back on another yearly deal, but this might be his last season with them as the Commanders will probably search for a new tight end in the draft. If that doesn\u2019t work, they could pursue a veteran in free agency. Andrews is more than capable of holding the fort together for quarterback Jayden Daniels, as he\u2019s younger and more upside than Ertz.<\/p>\n

Carolina Panthers<\/h4>\n

The Panthers have two solid tight ends on their roster in Ja\u2019Tavion Sanders and\u00a0Tommy Tremble. However, the wide receiver room looks bleak if you take Adam Thielen out of the picture once he retires. Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker only have untapped potential, so they could use a proven veteran like Andrews if Sanders doesn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
