Now that the draft is in the books, this is the time where the remaining free agents gain interest again from teams needing to fill roster holes.
But the free agents could have plenty of competition from the players available on the trading block. There’s Trey Hendrickson, Jalen Ramsey, Jaire Alexander and many other notable names possibly on that list.
The content teams tend to take care of a few contract dilemmas before the start of training camp. (Don’t hold your breath, Hendrickson.) Could James Cook be close to a contract extension with the Buffalo Bills now that the running back market has been set with the recent deals for Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry?
Let’s take a look at all this with our roster decision questions for the teams in the AFC.
Baltimore RavensDo the Ravens hang on to Mark Andrews?
Rumors swirled before the draft about the Ravens possibly shopping Andrews, whose contract carries a $16.9 million cap hit and is due to expire after the 2025 season. At this point in the offseason, it’s probably best for the Super Bowl-contending Ravens to keep the 29-year-old Andrews, who recorded 55 catches for 673 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. They’re definitely better with Andrews on the roster, but they have flexibility with tight end Isaiah Likely waiting for more opportunities.
