Ravens Lock in Derrick Henry with Two-Year Extension
It is good to be King, especially in Baltimore, The Ravens inked Derrick Henry to a two-year, $30 million extension, with $25 million guaranteed, keeping one of the NFL’s top running backs in purple through 2027. ESPN’s Adam Schefter called it the richest deal ever for a running back over the age of 30.
Henry’s 2024 season was a masterpiece—1,921 yards, 16 touchdowns, and a highlight reel of flattened linebackers—it’s no surprise that the Ravens struck that deal.
Henry hit social media with gratitude:
Teaming with Lamar Jackson coming off of his 2023 MVP season, the duo helped fuel a 12-5 season and Baltimore’s second straight AFC North title. A playoff stumble against Buffalo stung, but at 31, Henry’s still bulldozing defenses and racking up 100-plus yards in almost half his games over the last five years.
One of the reasons all of this has been possible for Henry to make this magic. Is in 2024, the Ravens rebuilt their offensive line, starting with drafting Washington’s Roger Rosengarten in the first round. This rookie right tackle was moved inside to guard and only allowed three sacks, per Pro Football Focus. Ravens GM Eric DeCosta also re-signed guard Ben Cleveland, a brick wall who gave up only two sacks in 17 games. Add in their 2022 first round pick center Tyler Lynderbaum and this line was a fortress, paving the way for Baltimore’s league-best 5.2 yards per carry.
