Earlier this week, the Ravens ended speculation about Mark Andrews‘ future by working out an extension. Further contract work could be finalized relatively soon. 
When speaking to the media on Friday, head coach John Harbaugh said (via Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic) the team is attempting to sign more players to extensions. No specific names have emerged on that front, but any number of candidates exist for a new deal in Baltimore. The tight end position in particular will be one to watch.
Andrews was a pending free agent prior to his new deal being signed. The same is also true of Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar. Both 2022 draftees are playing out the final year of their rookie contracts, but it remains to be seen what their value would be on new pacts. Likely flashed potential last season in particular, but he has not managed to emerge as a consistent producer when healthy in 2025. Kolar primarily offers special teams value, although his 40% offensive snap share for this season represents a career high.
Keeping Andrews on the books while also authorizing a notable raise for Likely and/or Kolar would be challenging given Baltimore’s cap outlook. Other notable players on expiring deals include center Tyler Linderbuam and defensive tackle Travis Jones. Linderbaum’s fifth-year option was understandably declined, but he and the Ravens are not believed to be close to an extension agreement. Jones, meanwhile, has played his way into a major raise on his second contract, whether it comes from Baltimore or another team.
Veterans such as edge rusher Kyle Van Noy, wideout DeAndre Hopkins and safety Alohi Gilman are also on expiring deals. One or more members of that trio could be seen as a priority for a new pact, especially if some of the team’s younger contributors sign for the long term. At the moment, Baltimore is projected to have roughly $47MM in cap space for 2026.
Of course, this comes against the backdrop of a Lamar Jackson extension being widely expected. Talks on a deal to lower the two-time MVP’s cap charge for next year (currently set at $74.5MM) have taken place, and finalizing a new pact would provide clarity on the team’s financial outlook moving forward. That, in turn, could allow for other deals to be budgeted for prior to the start of the new league year in March. As the Ravens continue to vie for top spot in the AFC North down the stretch, it will be interesting to see if they can take of more financial business as well.
