Derrick Henry Sends Message After Re-Signing: Ravens Ready to Run It Back
Back in 2024, the Baltimore Ravens’ offense wasn’t just explosive—it was unstoppable. They led the league in total yards, averaging a jaw-dropping 434 per game, and had defenses scrambling all season long. Lamar Jackson threw for 4,172 yards, keeping secondaries on high alert. Meanwhile, the wideouts feasted, and then came the wrecking ball in cleats—Derrick Henry.
At 31, many thought Henry’s best days were behind him. Instead, he nearly hit the 2,000-yard rushing mark, finishing with 1,921 yards, 16 touchdowns, and an eye-popping 5.9 yards per carry. He turned defenders into highlight reel victims week after week, proving he’s still one of the most punishing runners in the league.
The Ravens clearly took notice. They just re-signed the veteran powerhouse to a two-year, $30 million contract extension—locking in a core piece of their offensive identity. And Henry? He’s more than ready.
In a message shared Monday on the team’s official ‘X’ account, Henry addressed the fanbase directly: “What up flock? Derrick Henry here. Just re-signed. Excited to get back to work. Let’s get to it.”
With this extension, Baltimore makes a clear statement: they’re all in, and the King is far from done.
