Entering the final year of his contract, Mark Andrews wants to cherish this season and not stress over his future.
Asked if he envisioned being a free agent next offseason, Andrews said he was trusting a higher power.
“You’ve got to trust God,” Andrews said. “For me, it’s not looking too far ahead, it’s living in the moment, being present. I’m thankful to be here this year, to be able to compete for this organization, compete for this city. It means so much to me. I just want people to know that. It really means everything to me. I’m excited about it.”
Andrews is the franchise’s all-time leader in touchdown catches with 51, and his chemistry with Lamar Jackson has been a driving force in Baltimore’s offense for seven seasons. However, with Andrews, Isaiah Likely, and Charlie Kolar all entering the final year of their contracts, the Ravens have major decisions to make at the position on the horizon.
Andrews will turn 30 years old on Sept. 6, one day before the Ravens’ regular-season opener. Whether or not it’s his final season with the Ravens, Andrews wants to make sure it’s a special one.
“You never know what’s going to happen,” Andrews said. “There’s a lot of mouths to feed. [But] incredibly excited for this year, to be able to play here.”
