Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is pushing for a Derrick Henry contract extension

[ASFN Admin]

Last off-season, the Ravens signed Derrick Henry to a two-year, $16 million deal, greatly benefiting both parties. After Baltimore was eliminated from the postseason, GM Eric DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh held their end-of-season press conference. DeCosta was asked about a potential contract extension for Henry, who is entering his deal's final year.

DeCosta and the Ravens had started negotiations on a new deal before Barkley cashed in, which could drastically change things. Asked on Monday about those negotiations, head coach John Harbaugh said he'd like to get something done with the future Hall of Fame running back.

Harbaugh said that he'd like the team to extend RB Derrick Henry who is in last year of deal.

The second most impressive free agent signing last spring, Henry had the second-most rushing yards in the NFL (1,783), only trailing Philadelphia's Saquon Barkley (2,005). Both players averaged 5.8 yards per carry this season.

Henry's 14 rushing touchdowns were tied for the second-most in the league, only behind the Bills' James Cook (15).
