Ravens GM answers whether team will trade TE Mark Andrews

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta was asked Tuesday whether Mark Andrews might be traded around the time of the draft. DeCosta did not commit to Andrews being on the team’s roster no matter what.

The question arose since there have been some trade rumors surrounding the longtime Ravens tight end. DeCosta was extremely complimentary about Andrews but did not say the team would definitively keep him.

“I never know what’s going to happen … but I can tell you this, Mark Andrews is a warrior. And he’s played his butt off for us. His competitiveness, his talent, his attitude, his leadership is so valued here. He’s a great player, and I think we’re in the business of keeping as many great players as we can,” DeCosta said.

DeCosta did not that there is “always a lot of unpredictability with the draft, you just never know.”
