The Baltimore Ravens secured their first win of the season in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys, holding off a late comeback to win 28-25.
As the weeks progress, one storyline to watch will be Baltimore’s activity in the trade market. Historically, the Ravens’ front office has been quick to make moves when the opportunity arises.
Could they actually consider parting with a longtime star? Mark Andrews is a name to keep an eye on, especially since he has been relatively replaced by Isaiah Likely, making him potentially expendable.
Destin Adams of A to Z Sports has suggested that the Indianapolis Colts should reach out to the Ravens regarding a possible trade for Andrews.
*”The Colts should test the waters and inquire about Andrews. With him trying to recover from an injury, there’s no assurance he’ll return to the form that saw him rack up career-high numbers in 2021 with 1,361 yards and nine touchdowns. The longer the Ravens go without utilizing Andrews, the less they might demand in a trade. He carries a $16.9 million cap hit for this year and next, which is significant. However, the Colts might be in a position to take that risk, given quarterback Anthony Richardson’s rookie contract. A trade package could potentially include a third-round pick and some additional considerations.”
This season, Andrews has caught six passes for 65 yards over three games, indicating a decline in his usage compared to previous years. At 29 years old, he still has several productive years ahead, and acquiring him could provide a valuable veteran target for Richardson.
Of course, this is all speculation at this point, as there have been no reports suggesting that Baltimore is looking to move on from Andrews. Until something concrete emerges, he’s merely a name circulating in trade rumors.
