OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The Baltimore Ravens and incumbent Mark Andrews agreed to a four-year, $ 56 million extension Monday, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
With $ 14 million per season, Andrews becomes the third highest paid final in the NFL, following only George Kittle ($ 15 million per season) and Travis Kelce ($ 14.3 million).
Andrews, who was scheduled to be a free agent at the end of the season, will receive $ 37.6 million guaranteed by 63 percent of the deal, a source told Fowler. He will be paid $ 26.6 million in March 2022.
A third-round pick in 2018, Andrews quickly became Lamar Jackson’s favorite target. His 17 touchdowns in the last two seasons surpass all narrow ends and rank No. 8 overall in the NFL overall.
The new deal was a timely birthday present for Andrews, who turned 26 on Monday.
Andrews joined offensive attack Ronnie Stanley and cornerback Marlon Humphrey as Ravens, who have signed lucrative extensions over the past 11 months.
With Andrews signing, Jackson becomes the next Baltimore player on the line of a long-term deal. Jackson is signed during the 2022 season.
