USA TODAY Sports combed the NFL to investigate trade rumors in advance of next week's deadline. Here's what we're hearing.

On Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET, Mark Andrews and the Baltimore Ravens play the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. Game Time: 8:15 p.m.

As the NFL trade deadline draws ever closer, the Baltimore Ravens had a star veteran contributor highlighted as a 'player to watch' on the market.

Simply put, the Rams need another playmaker outside of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. L.A. hasn’t gotten much production from its tights ends this season. Between Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson, they have combined for 30 receptions for 290 yards and 4 touchdowns on 43 targets, per Pro Football Reference.

Andrews has been disappointing this season except for one game in which he went off for six receptions on six targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in a high-scoring loss to the Lions in Week 3. He hasn’t topped 30 yards or found the end zone in any other game.

The "tush push" play in the NFL has become controversial and hard to stop. The Philadelphia Eagles have perfected it, but opponents and officials struggle to counter it.

The Los Angeles Rams could be an ideal landing spot for Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews before the 2025 deadline.

ESPN goes on to say there's a 20% chance the Ravens trade Andrews, and that the best team fits would be the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. All three of those teams have solid tight ends, but Andrews would be a great secondary option and great injury insurance.
