Ravens Sign Derrick Henry to Historic Extension

The Baltimore Ravens have signed running back Derrick Henry, who recently turned 31, to a historic two-year, $30 million contract extension with $25 million fully guaranteed—the largest deal ever for an NFL running back over 30. Henry is now the third-highest-paid running back in the league by annual value, behind Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey. The extension follows a standout season in which Henry rushed for 1,921 yards and led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns. He has surpassed 1,000 rushing yards in six of his last seven seasons and is currently the league's active leader in career rushing yards. The new deal dispels speculation about a potential holdout or contract dispute. Baltimore aims to pair Henry with quarterback Lamar Jackson to pursue a Super Bowl.
