Did the Ravens make the right choice by keeping Andrews over Likely?
Isaiah Likely’s emergence with the Giants has renewed questions about Baltimore’s decision to extend Mark Andrews and let him leave
The Baltimore Ravens made a defensible decision in retaining Mark Andrews over Isaiah Likely, despite the potential for future regrets. Andrews, the franchise record holder for career receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown catches, brings a level of certainty and trust to Lamar Jackson's offense that Likely, while promising, cannot yet match.
The decision was not about who was the better player, but rather about maintaining stability and continuity within the team's current championship window. However, the arrival of Likely in the New York Giants' training camp has reignited discussions about his potential to become a top-tier tight end in the league. If Likely meets or exceeds expectations, Baltimore's decision could face significant scrutiny, but for now, it remains a prudent choice for the team's immediate goals.
