Re: What offensive players should the Ravens try to keep?
Everybody (including me) loves Andrews, but one thing I'd like to see before committing Kittle type money to him is an extended period of health. I have some concerns about his durability. He gets dinged up a lot and when he is dinged up and playing, I believe it affects his consistency catching the ball. The games he had uncharacteristic drops were games he wasn't healthy. Just a thought.

Re: What offensive players should the Ravens try to keep?
i'd feel better about keeping Andrews over Brown if Andrews could take a step forward as a blocker. we'll see how much the Off. scheme changes over last year, but as great a receiving TE he is, he's not even the best blocking TE on the team. a team that rushes 60% of the time and makes such extensive use of downfield blocking like 2019 Ravens get so much out of TE blocking (TEs can't be called for ineligible man downfield, giving them so much more versatility). he's got the size, but he needs the attitude, and i do think that can be learned. with what appears to be an improved WR corps this year and not Hurst we should get more of an opportunity to see what he's got. but i'd feel better moving on from our best Tackle pair since JO played if i felt he could do more in that department and help out a weaker RT.

Re: What offensive players should the Ravens try to keep?
Most of those figures look high to me, but you're right, if everyone gets a top of the market contract we can't keep them all. We have to hope a few players go for team friendly deals because they want to keep winning like the Chiefs did.
Players might find it hard to reset the market at their positions over the next few years with the cap shrinking.
$42M+ for Lamar looks cheap compared to Mahomes $50M average but most of his money comes towards the end of a 10 year deal. There's no way Lamar will cost an average of 42 mil against the cap over the next 5 or 6 years.
I think Kittle put a cap on the TE market for the next few years at $15M. No one's going to beat that unless they can make the case that they're better than Kittle. I'd estimate $13 -14M for Andrews.
Darius Slay and Byron Jones both get $16.5M average so $17 for Humphrey sounds fair but Marlon seems like he might take a team friendly deal.
Tunsil got $22M because he had Houston over a barrel after they traded 2 firsts for him. That's $5.5M over the next LT so let's hope that's an outlier rather than the new normal. I get the feeling Stanley might want every penny of it though.
