Andrews Faces New Era Amidst Ravens TE Departures
10 Apr
Summary
- Mark Andrews' role as focal point is reaffirmed.
- Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar departed in free agency.
- Andrews had his worst statistical season in 2025.
The Baltimore Ravens' tight end unit has seen a dramatic transformation. Once a strong position group, the departure of promising players Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar in free agency means veteran Mark Andrews will resume his role as a central figure in the offense alongside Lamar Jackson.
This renewed focus on Andrews comes as he is coming off his statistically weakest season in 2025. He recorded his worst NFL numbers for yards with 422, third-fewest receptions with 45, and his second-worst touchdown total with 5, all achieved over 17 games. This performance marks a decline since his standout 2021 season, where he surpassed 1,000 yards.
The Ravens' tight end depth has diminished significantly with the loss of Likely, who many had identified as a potential successor to Andrews. While Andrews acknowledges the increased opportunities within the offense, questions remain about his ability to capitalize on them following his recent statistical downturn.
