OWINGS MILLS (Md. The Baltimore Ravens announced Monday that Mark Andrews, a tight end, was signed to a four year extension.
According to a source, the deal is worth $56 Million.
Andrews is the third highest-paid tight end in league at $14 million per year, behind George Kittle ($15million per season) or Travis Kelce ($14.3million).
Fowler told Fowler that Andrews was to become a free agent at season's end. He will be paid $37.6million in guaranteed money for 63%. Andrews will receive $26.6 million in March 2022.
Andrews turned 26 on Monday, and the new deal was a thoughtful birthday gift.
Eric DeCosta, Baltimore general manager, stated that Mark is "exactly the type of player we want to keep as a Raven for the long-term." He is a leader, competitive, passionate, and talented. We are thrilled to have him here in Baltimore over the next five-years. Mark and his family deserve congratulations and a happy birthday.
Andrews was a third-round selection in 2018, and quickly became Lamar Jackson's favorite target. Andrews' 17 touchdowns in the past two seasons are among the most impressive tight ends, ranking No. 8 overall in the NFL.
Andrews was joined by Ronnie Stanley, offensive tackle, and cornerback Marlon Huffrey by the Ravens who have signed lucrative extensions for the past 11 months.
Andrews has been signed and Jackson is now the next Baltimore player to be offered a long-term contract. Jackson will be signed through the 2022 season.
