It’s been a very disappointing season for the Baltimore Ravens, with several factors contributing to the team's struggles. Had Lamar Jackson not gotten injured, the Ravens likely wouldn't be 1-5. However, in a loaded AFC North and a tough AFC to begin with, the Ravens aren't exactly in a good position to make the postseason.
The playoffs are still months away, and the Ravens have an easier schedule moving forward with Jackson expected to return in the near future, but there's reason to believe that changes could be coming to make the team worse before the trade deadline.
The Ravens have a few veteran players who could be a great fit on other teams, and Mike Jones of The Athletic believes that Mark Andrews is one of them, naming him one of 10 players to watch at this year's deadline.

“The Ravens’ season has quickly spun out of control as they enter their bye week with a 1-5 record. Baltimore has started offloading pieces in exchange for cap space, such as pass-rusher Odafe Oweh,” he wrote.
“Tight end is a spot where Baltimore has some depth with Isaiah Likely now healthy again. Could Andrews, who is in the final year of his contract, be on the move?”

If the Ravens have all the confidence in the world in Isaiah Likely to become the next type of Andrew's player, it makes sense to move on from him for multiple reasons.
Likely has proven that he has all the talent in the world to be very good, but he's also dealt with some injuries this season and hasn't exactly been great when on the field. He also doesn't have the best role because of Andrews already being in the offense.
Only 25 years old, the Ravens obviously found something in the fourth-round pick out of Coastal Carolina. That was proven last season, when he finished with 477 yards and six touchdowns.
If he gets more targets and an opportunity to catch the football, there's no telling just what type of stats he could put up.
