The Baltimore Ravens just leveled up their ground game by signing superstar running back Derrick Henry to a two-year, $16 million deal! With $9 million guaranteed in Year 1 (and incentives that could push it to $20M
), this move cements Baltimore as the NFL’s ultimate rushing powerhouse.
Last season, the Ravens dominated with 2,661 rushing yards —tops in the league. QB Lamar Jackson alone sprinted for 821 yards in 2023, continuing his reign as the NFL’s fastest QB since 2018. Now, adding Henry—a two-time rushing champ—is like pairing a bulldozer with a speedboat
.
Henry’s stats speak for themselves: Over 1,000 yards in five of his last six seasons, including a jaw-dropping 2,027-yard performance in 2020. Imagine defenses trying to stop Jackson’s agility AND Henry’s raw power . Game. Over.
