The Panthers are already weak in the tight end department, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/02\/18\/jatavion-sanders-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Ja&#8217;Tavion Sanders<\/a> is the only notable player in that unit. It hurts them for the longevity of the team, especially for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/05\/21\/panthers-bryce-young-earns-interesting-spot-in-pff-quarterback-rankings\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">quarterback Bryce Young<\/a>, who is looking to have a huge turnaround this upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Tremble will reportedly be back in time for the first week of the NFL Preseason, the Panthers can&#8217;t afford to risk it and put him back out there quickly. Andrews would be a better player in this situation as the Ravens&#8217; All-Pro continues to be in several trade rumors this offseason. Originally selected in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the former three-time Pro Bowler had a down season last year after losing his starting job to Isaiah Likely. Since Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta continues to tease an Andrews and the Panthers are in a desperate situation, they could come together on a deal that both probably won&#8217;t turn down.<\/p>\n<p>Andrews doesn&#8217;t need to be a modern-day Greg Olsen, but he&#8217;s more of a capable upgrade over Sanders, who isn&#8217;t ready for full-time duties. The tight end position has been the weakest for the Panthers since 2019, and they need some type of relief. Since Andrews <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25201198-1-player-each-nfl-team-should-consider-trading-2025-season\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">continues to be in several conversations<\/a>, don&#8217;t be surprised if these other four teams consider him before the 2025 regular season.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_228825\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-228825\" style=\"width: 794px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-228825\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/Mark-Andrews-Trade-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Andrews Trade\" width=\"794\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/Mark-Andrews-Trade-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/Mark-Andrews-Trade-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/Mark-Andrews-Trade-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/Mark-Andrews-Trade-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/Mark-Andrews-Trade-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/Mark-Andrews-Trade-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/Mark-Andrews-Trade-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-228825\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jan 19, 2025; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (80) celebrates with Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (89) after scoring a touchdown during the fourth quarter against the Buffalo Bills in a 2025 AFC divisional round game at Highmark Stadium.

An example of that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/44172438\/tight-end-zach-ertz-re-signing-commanders-source-says#:~:text=Three%2Dtime%20Pro%20Bowl%20tight,his%20first%20with%20the%20Commanders.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zach Ertz, who is returning on a one-year deal<\/a> to finish the job and hopefully put this team in the Super Bowl. However, just like Andrews, he&#8217;s getting up there in age. However, he would be worth the investment for at least one more contract if Ertz decides to hang up his cleats after this season.<\/p>\n<h4>Dallas Cowboys<\/h4>\n<p>The most unnoticable lack in the Dallas Cowboys offense is the tight end position. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallascowboys.com\/news\/jake-ferguson-on-brian-schottenheimer-tweaks-to-offseason-training-regimen-for-2025-i-know-what-it-takes\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jake Ferguson is coming off his worst season last year<\/a> and hopes to turn the page. However, the depth behind him doesn&#8217;t help Dak Prescott and an already stellar wide receiver room, to make much of anything. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/04\/13\/luke-schoonmaker-2023-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Luke Schoonmaker<\/a> hasn&#8217;t done anything to impress, and an Andrews trade could make Prescott look like one of the most dangerous arm passers in the NFC.<\/p>\n<h4>Los Angeles Chargers<\/h4>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers need more of a dynamic playmaker than what they have on their roster. The team signed Tyler Conklin, which is the first step, but they need a long-term upgrade for Justin Herbert, as he&#8217;s been heavily reliant on his tight end unit. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2019\/10\/13\/will-dissly-fantasy-football-tight-end-replacements-hunter-henry-luke-willson\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Will Dissly<\/a> is good, but average, which can take them to the wild-card. However, Andrews knows how to turn a rebuilding roster into champions if he gets the right opportunities in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<h4>Kansas City Chiefs<\/h4>\n<p>The Ravens will never trade Andrews to the Kansas City Chiefs, but it&#8217;s hard not to mention the fit. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/02\/05\/travis-kelce-gives-update-on-future-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Travis Kelce<\/a> is returning for what will probably be his last year in the league. The Chiefs need a championship veteran, and Andrews could get the Chiefs back in the groove of things if he becomes available in free agency next offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After losing Tommy Tremble, the Carolina Panthers could trade for this All-Pro to salvage their unit before the 2025 campaign. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4795,"featured_media":235632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,10,30,19,16,18,8896],"tags":[7723,7739,7642,7811,7422,7466,7429,3770,7661,7638,7998,339,3840,8996,1211],"class_list":["post-235631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-ravens","category-panthers","category-cowboys","category-chiefs","category-chargers","category-washington-commanders","tag-baltimore-ravens-news","tag-carolina-panthers-news","tag-chargers-featured","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-dallas-cowboys-news","tag-kansas-city-chiefs-news","tag-los-angeles-chargers-news","tag-mark-andrews","tag-panthers-featured","tag-ravens-featured","tag-tommy-tremble","tag-travis-kelce","tag-tyler-conklin","tag-washington-commanders-news","tag-zach-ertz"],"modified_by":"Anthony Palacios","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4795"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235631"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235631\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":235637,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235631\/revisions\/235637"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
