It only took one game to expose the Ravens’ potential $39 million miscalculation
Baltimore Ravens v Miami Dolphins | Cooper Neill/GettyImagesAhead of their crucial Week 14 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens agreed to a three-year $39.3 million contract extension with tight end Mark Andrews. This deal will make Andrews the fifth-highest-paid tight end next season. That's a high bar for the 30-year-old.
It's unfair to definitively say this deal will backfire on Eric DeCosta and the Ravens. After all, Andrews is the Ravens' all-time leader in touchdowns and receiving yards. He has long been Lamar Jackson's favorite target, a nice security blanket for the Ravens offense. As a result, it would be hard not to extend him regardless of price.
