"Baltimore might prefer to retain every proven weapon in hopes of salvaging an injury-ravaged season, but Andrews is no longer the steady playmaker that he once was, and Isaiah Likely is already here as the future at tight end. Andrews is also set to become a free agent after the season, meaning both sides could benefit from an early split. He'd make for a nice secondary outlet for a contender."
"Despite being four years younger than Ertz, Andrews has been even less productive this season. He has fewer receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns, and yards per reception. He would not only be redundant in the Commanders' offense, but he'd be a worse version of the player Washington already has in the tight-end room. Andrews wouldn't make sense as a backup either, as John Bates fills that role as an elite blocking tight end."
Washington enters the trade-deadline window at 3-4 after injuries and inconsistency derailed an early hope of a deep playoff run. The team should adopt a buying mindset rather than selling, but has limited assets to acquire difference-making veterans, so any moves will likely target players in minimal demand. Internet trade chatter has floated major names as potential fits, including Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, but Andrews is on the wrong side of 30, has declined production this season, would be redundant behind Zach Ertz, and would offer little value given John Bates and younger tight-end depth.
