Ravens Free Agency Rumors: Predicted Offer to RB Derrick Henry

The Baltimore Ravens might undergo a tremendous amount of turnover before next season starts – a season they hope results in coach John Harbaugh hoisting the Lombardi Trophy after a Super Bowl LIX win in New Orleans.

Likely gone are running backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards – their No. 1 and No. 2 backs from last season. Because of their philosophy of “running back by committee” over the past few seasons, the Ravens have only had one back post a 1,000-yard season since quarterback Lamar Jackson arrived in 2018.

If they decide to abandon that tactic, there are feature backs that are available through free agency. One of the most prominent available is eight-year veteran Derrick Henry, who has spent his entire career with the Tennessee Titans.

Regardless of a high workload over his eight seasons, the former Alabama back still appears to have a lot left in the proverbial running back tank.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox projects that Baltimore will offer Henry a two-year, $20 million deal. That would be a pay cut for Henry, who’s coming off a $12.5 million season in Tennessee.

Last season, Henry rushed for 1,167 yards on 280 carries and scored 12 touchdowns. His average yards per carry last year was 4.2, down from his career average of 4.7, but that could be due to a down season for the Titans’ offensive line as much as anything.

According to Spotrac.com, Henry has a predicted market value of $10.3 million for a one-year deal, which could be a problem for Baltimore given the cap space it currently has.

Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell are set to return and would make suitable backups for Henry. If the Ravens are interested, there could be a new “King” in town in 2024, in Derrick Henry
