The Baltimore Ravens are looking to get over the hump with superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson and get through the AFC Championhsip to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in the two-time MVP’s career.
A big step toward that goal is likely to include a satisfied Mark Andrews, one of Jackson’s top targets. However, the star tight end is still without a contract extension as the season rapidly approaches.
Still, the Ravens organization should be content knowing that Andrews feels that both parties are in a good place with respect to one another.
“I know the Ravens and my relationship is incredibly strong and I trust in [DeCosta] and everybody there over at the Ravens,” Andrews said, via ESPN. “And there’s nothing on my end really to share.
“For me, it’s just been working hard this offseason and trying to get in the best shape of my life, trying to have the best season of my life coming up and winning a Super Bowl.”
That doesn’t mean that Andrews isn’t acknowledging the business side of things.
“At the end of the day, I think [DeCosta] said it perfectly: He’s in the business of keeping great players and it’s a business at the end of the day. You can’t be surprised by anything, but I’m a Raven.”
Jackson may be able to use his influence to push the Ravens to get an extension done with Andrews, the same way that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback did to get his to targets, Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase, signed to extensions this offseason.
