The Ravens had the number one rushing attack in the NFL last season. Now they add one of the most dominant riders of the last decade.
ESPN announces that Baltimore will sign Derrick Henry for 2 years and $16 million. The total can go up to 20 million with all the bonuses. 9 million greenbacks are guaranteed to the now ex-Titans runner.
Now 30 years old, Henry is coming off a season in which he carried 280 balls for 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns with Tennessee. His average of 4.2 yards per carry was the lowest since his sophomore year, when he was not a full-time starter.
The unstoppable Ravens with Derrick Henry?
Baltimore has always had a strong identity on the ground. This signature further affirms the team's style. Despite injuries to numerous runners in recent years, the offense has always managed to gain yards on the run. With a better line than with the Titans, Henry could have a very good end to his career.
Lamar Jackson will have a more terrifying ground seat than ever to accompany him in his quest for a first title. A quest now joined by Derrick Henry.
