Ravens Predicted to Trade Mark Andrews to Chiefs in Blockbuster Deal

Baltimore,Fr  – May 2, 2025

The Baltimore Ravens could be on the verge of a seismic trade, with speculation swirling that tight end Mark Andrews might be headed to the Kansas City Chiefs in a blockbuster move. Analyst Zach Canter of A to Z Sports predicts the three-time Pro Bowler could join the reigning AFC champions to bolster their offense, offering Ravens a haul of draft picks to reshape their roster.

Andrews, 29, posted 55 receptions, 673 yards, and 11 touchdowns in 2024, but his career-low 39.6 yards per game and a critical drop in a playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills sparked trade chatter. With Isaiah Likely (477 yards, 6 touchdowns) ready to step up, Eric DeCosta might see this as the moment to cash in on Andrews’ $16.9 million cap hit. A proposed deal could net Baltimore a 2026 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-rounder, giving DeCosta ammo to address needs like edge rusher or wide receiver.

For the Chiefs, Andrews would be a game-changer. With Travis Kelce’s production dipping at 36, Patrick Mahomes needs a reliable tight end to complement Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins. Andrews’ red-zone dominance and veteran savvy make him a perfect fit for Andy Reid’s scheme. “He’s the kind of weapon Mahomes thrives with,Canter wrote, noting Kansas City’s depth at running back with Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt allows them to prioritize pass-catchers.

The Ravens, 12-5 in 2024, have Lamar Jackson, Zay Flowers, and Derrick Henry to keep their offense humming, but trading Andrews signals a youth movement. Likely’s emergence and DeCosta’s 10 remaining draft picks provide flexibility to rebuild. However, losing a franchise icon risks fan backlash, especially with Andrews’ contract expiring in 2026.

The Chiefs, chasing a third straight Super Bowl, see Andrews as a missing piece. Baltimore might wait until the trade deadline, but a deal now maximizes value. Will DeCosta pull the trigger? Drop your take below!
