The Baltimore Ravens have signed running back Derrick Henry to a two-year, $30 million contract extension according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
Henry is the first running back over the age of 30 to make $15 million per year. Henry hit the open market at the peak of the “running backs don’t matter” discourse and signed a measly two-year, $16 million deal with the Ravens last offseason. He spent the 2024 season stuffing nerds in lockers with 1,921 yards and 16 touchdowns on 325 attempts. The monstrous season more than earned him a raise and the Ravens knew the assignment.
Rapoport noted that Henry wants to finish his career in Baltimore and the extension will give him the opportunity to do so.
