Ravens Pro Bowler Becomes Co-Owner of Baltimore Orioles — A Legacy Beyond Football

Ravens' Mark Andrews 'Absolutely Gutted' Over Dropping Pass

Baltimore, MD – October 2, 2025 The city of Baltimore has always been defined by resilience, heart, and an unyielding passion for its birds—both purple and orange. Now, that bond soars higher as Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has officially become a minority co-owner of the Baltimore Orioles, forging an even deeper connection to Charm City.

Founded in 1954, the Orioles are one of MLB’s most cherished franchises, with World Series triumphs in 1966, 1970, and 1983, and legends like Cal Ripken Jr. and Brooks Robinson immortalizing their legacy in baseball lore. In 2025, under new ownership and a youthful core led by Gunnar Henderson, they’re charging toward a Wild Card berth and dreaming of October magic at Camden Yards.

Andrews’ path from third-round draft pick in 2018 to the iron-willed tight end anchoring Lamar Jackson’s offense has made him a symbol of grit and loyalty for the Ravens Flock. His new stake in the Orioles extends a devotion that reaches far beyond the end zone.

“Baltimore has given me everything—my breakout seasons, my brothers on the team, the roar of the M&T crowd that lifts us all. This city is more than home; it’s family. I want to pour my heart back into Baltimore and help carry our unbreakable spirit of sports to the world,” Andrews said in a statement that struck a chord with fans from Fells Point to Federal Hill.

Andrews’ investment rides the wave of athletes branching into ownership, but his move holds profound significance. It’s not merely commerce—it’s heritage. By joining the Orioles’ ownership circle, Andrews safeguards Baltimore’s blue-collar soul shining under the national lights.

The collaboration also weaves tighter unity across the city’s sports tapestry. Ravens faithful now share a Pro Bowl tight end equally rooted in their baseball heroes, bridging the purple passion with orange-and-black fervor in a way that echoes the shared “O!” chant.

For Andrews, this is no passing fancy. Just as his blocking tenacity defines Ravens drives, his Orioles commitment envisions Baltimore sports flourishing for generations. As he blocks for touchdowns and now shapes strategies in the front office, the city finds a voice for its athletic horizon.

The announcement has been toasted as a “milestone for B-More,” with fans embracing Andrews not just as a Ravens stalwart, but as a civic beacon. For a town forged in perseverance, his step is the ultimate salute.

Baltimore now has its tight end of today—and a co-owner poised to build its sporting legacy tomorrow.

Packers Rookie Cut Before Season Retires to Join Military Service
The NFL is often described as the pinnacle of athletic dreams, but for one Green Bay rookie, the path to greatness has taken a turn away from the gridiron and toward a higher calling. After signing as an undrafted free agent in May, the young cornerback fought through training camp and preseason battles, hoping to carve out a roster spot on a Packers team recalibrating its depth and identity in the secondary. That player is Tyron Herring, a Delaware (via Dartmouth) standout known as a true outside corner with length, competitive toughness, and special-teams upside. Listed at 6’1”, 201 pounds with verified long speed, Herring built a reputation as a press-capable defender who thrives along the boundary.  Waived in late August, Herring stunned teammates and fans by announcing his retirement from professional football and his decision to enlist in the U.S. military, trading a Packers jersey for a soldier’s uniform. “I lived my NFL dream in Green Bay, but being cut before the season opened another path,” Herring said in a statement. “This isn’t the end — it’s a higher calling. Now, I choose to serve my country with the same heart I gave the Packers.” Prototypical on paper for Green Bay’s boundary profile and steady on tape throughout August, Herring nevertheless faced heavy competition in a crowded cornerback room. The numbers game won out as the Packers finalized their 53 and practice squad. For the Packers, the move closes the chapter on a developmental project with intriguing tools. For Herring, it begins a profound new journey that echoes his “hidden gem” label — a player who consistently rose above expectations and now seeks to do so in service to something bigger than the game. Fans across Wisconsin and the college football community saluted the decision on social media, calling it “the ultimate sacrifice” and “proof that heart is bigger than the game.” Herring leaves the NFL, but his next mission may prove even greater.
