Ravens choose Andrews over Likely as Giants tight end impresses
Summary

The Baltimore Ravens extended Mark Andrews instead of Isaiah Likely, now with the New York Giants. Likely shined in joint practices against the Dolphins, catching six passes and displaying strong chemistry with quarterback Jaxson Dart. While Andrews holds Ravens franchise records and remains a key target for Lamar Jackson, Likely's emergence raises questions about Baltimore’s long-term decision. The Ravens aim for immediate contention, prioritizing established connections over potential future gains. As Likely potentially eyes a high-volume season, scrutiny may grow if Andrews' production declines.
