Mark Andrews Extends Ravens Contract with 3-Year Agreement
Mark Andrews, tight end for the Baltimore Ravens, has secured his future with a newly extended contract. The team announced a three-year agreement worth $39.3 million, which includes $26 million guaranteed.
Contract Details
This contract extension comes as Andrews was set to become a free agent at the end of the current season. The 30-year-old athlete has been a vital player for the Ravens since joining the team as a third-round draft pick in 2018.
Andrews’ Record in the NFL
- Career receptions: 473
- Receiving yards: 5,862
- Touchdowns: 56
Andrews holds the franchise record for all three of these categories. He achieved a significant milestone this season by becoming only the second tight end in NFL history to capture a receiving “triple crown,” previously accomplished only by Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.
General Manager’s Comments
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta expressed his appreciation for Andrews, noting his contributions on and off the field. “Mark is an all-time Raven — a top competitor and Pro Bowl tight end who is also a big part of our Baltimore community,” DeCosta stated.
Challenges This Season
Despite his accolades and the new contract, Andrews has faced challenges this season, averaging a career-worst 27.7 receiving yards per game. His performances have been impacted, but he remains a key asset for the Ravens.
As Baltimore continues to push for a successful season, Mark Andrews’ skills and leadership will be crucial for the team’s ambitions moving forward.
