There are a lot of expectations surrounding the Baltimore Ravens in 2025, as ESPN BET gives them the best odds (-135) of winning the AFC North and the third-best odds of winning Super Bowl LX.
They've had a relatively slow offseason, though, with their biggest addition coming in the form of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who signed a one-year, $5 million deal
However, that changes on Wednesday, with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting that the Ravens had signed running back Derrick Henry to a two-year, $30 million contract, with $25 million guaranteed.
When the news broke, the Ravens' official X account posted six crown emojis, which is a clear reference to the running back's popular nickname "King Henry."
Of course, this is an exciting development for the Ravens because in his first season with them, he proved to be valuable, starting 17 games and accumulating 1,921 yards and 16 touchdowns on 325 carries.
That led him to collecting some impressive personal accolades, including making his fifth Pro Bowl appearance, being named Second-Team All-Pro and finishing in fourth place in Offensive Player of the Year voting.
There's no doubt that Henry was an extremely crucial piece in helping the Ravens finish the season ranked first in total yards per game (424.9) and third in points per game (30.5)

This deal is also the eighth-largest contract in terms of total value, the third-largest in yearly salary ($15 million) and the fourth-most ever guaranteed money for a running back in NFL history, per Spotrac.
However, this extension does not take effect until after 2025, which means that Henry will be under contract with the Ravens through the 2027 season.
