The Baltimore Ravens' decision to re-sign star tight end Mark Andrews to a three-year extension has raised some eyebrows, especially with the team letting promising young TEs Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar depart in free agency. However, the upcoming NFL Draft could provide the Ravens with an opportunity to add another top tight end prospect in Kenyon Sadiq, who has been linked as a potential fit for Baltimore's offense.

Why it matters

The Ravens' tight end room is in an interesting position, with Andrews as the clear top option but coming off a down year in 2025. Adding a dynamic rookie like Sadiq could give Baltimore's offense another weapon and potentially provide insurance in case Andrews' production continues to decline.

The details

Despite Andrews' status as a franchise star, the 2025 season was one of the worst of his career, as he posted just 422 receiving yards in 17 games. With Andrews now locked up long-term, the Ravens could look to the draft to find a complement or eventual replacement, with Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq emerging as an intriguing option. Sadiq is viewed as one of the top tight end prospects in the class, with his combination of size, athleticism, and pass-catching ability making him an enticing fit for creative offensive coordinators like the Ravens'.

  • The Ravens re-signed Mark Andrews to a three-year extension in the 2026 offseason.
  • The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 24-26.

What they’re saying

“Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq remains the most intriguing player in the draft, in my mind. I think you could argue, too, that if you've got a creative offensive coordinator/system, he has the best chance of any of the guys in the class to become the focal point of a team's passing game. The Chiefs and Ravens would be fun landing spots for him.”

What’s next

The Ravens will have the opportunity to evaluate Kenyon Sadiq and other top tight end prospects at the upcoming NFL Draft Combine in late February.

The takeaway

The Ravens' tight end situation is an intriguing one, with the team needing to balance the production of their star in Mark Andrews with the potential to add another dynamic playmaker at the position through the draft. Kenyon Sadiq could be an ideal fit, but the team will have to weigh the value of taking a tight end early versus addressing other needs.
