Last off-season, the Ravens signed Derrick Henry to a two-year, $16 million deal, greatly benefiting both parties.
After Baltimore was eliminated from the postseason, GM Eric DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh held their end-of-season press conference.
DeCosta was asked about a potential contract extension for Henry, who will enter his deal’s final year.
“Derrick proved he had a lot left in the tank. We’ll look at that… I’m so grateful Derrick chose us last year.”

The second most impressive free agent signing last spring, Henry had the second-most rushing yards in the NFL (1,783), only trailing Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley (2,005). Both players averaged 5.8 yards per carry this season.
Henry’s 14 rushing touchdowns were tied for the second-most in the league, only behind the Bills James Cook (15).
