The Baltimore Ravens have shaken up the tight end market with a blockbuster deal for Mark Andrews. The star tight end has signed a three-year, $39.3 million extension, locking him in as the franchise's all-time leading pass catcher. The deal includes $26 million in guaranteed money, solidifying Andrews' status as one of the league's most reliable offensive centrepieces. The Ravens' investment in Andrews signals continued faith in him as the focal point of Lamar Jackson's passing attack. While it doesn't make him the highest-paid tight end in the league, Andrews' guaranteed-money total is one of the strongest at the position. In comparison, Travis Kelce's two-year, $34.25 million extension with the Kansas City Chiefs keeps him among the top earners, despite being in the later stages of his career. George Kittle, meanwhile, remains the NFL's highest-paid tight end, with a four-year, $76.4 million deal that includes $40 million in guaranteed money. The numbers paint a clear picture: George Kittle earns the most annually, with a $19.1 million average salary, followed by Travis Kelce at $17.125 million, and Mark Andrews at $13.1 million. In terms of guaranteed money, Kittle leads the way with $40 million, followed by Andrews at $26 million, and Kelce at $17 million. As the NFL's tight end market continues to evolve, one thing is clear: Mark Andrews has cemented his status as a top-tier tight end, while George Kittle remains the gold standard at the position.
