Derrick Henry, Ravens agree to two-year extension

The Ravens and Henry have agreed to a two-year extension worth $30 million, a person familiar with the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract isn’t official. The deal includes $25 million in guaranteed money.

It’s the largest-ever contract for a running back over the age of 30.

Henry amassed 1,921 rushing yards and tied an NFL-high with 16 rushing touchdowns in his first year in Baltimore last season. His rushing yards output was the second most ever by a Ravens running back in a single season, it was also the second most in the NFL last year. Henry achieved the mark despite turning 31 years old in January.

Behind Henry and two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, the Ravens boasted the league’s No. 1 rushing attack, averaging just over 187 yards per contest last season.

Henry is now signed through the next few seasons and could end his superb career in the Charm City.

The Ravens signed Henry in free agency last offseason after he spent the first eight years of his career with the Tennessee Titans. The five-time Pro Bowler has produced 11,423 rushing yards and 106 rushing touchdowns in nine NFL seasons. His 11,423 career rushing yards leads all active players. He ranks 19th on the NFL’s all-time rushing list.

Henry’s career resume includes winning the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award in 2020 and he was the league’s single season rushing king in 2019 and 2020.
