Trade Interest in Derrick Henry Grows After Ravens’ Loss
The surge in reporting has intensified deadline chatter and could prompt Baltimore to consider moving the veteran running back before Nov. 10.
Overview
- Friday’s lopsided loss and Baltimore’s slide have renewed trade talk, with A to Z Sports reporting that two teams have “serious” interest and media outlets naming the New England Patriots and New York Giants as possible suitors.
- No independent reporting has confirmed the Ravens are actively shopping Henry, and multiple outlets caution that the two-team claim traces mainly to a single A to Z Sports report.
- Henry is approaching 33 and has seen a clear dip in production, failing to reach 60 rushing yards in four straight games and averaging a career-low about 3.9 yards per carry, a combination that makes this a likely window to trade him.
- Contract figures reported by different outlets vary, with some citing a modest 2026 cash hit and roughly $12 million of non‑guaranteed 2027 money while others list a higher 2027 cap number, creating uncertainty about the short- and long-term cost for any acquiring team.
- Analysts and insiders have urged Baltimore to explore trades and point to coaching ties and roster fits as reasons specific teams might pursue Henry, and the key next developments to watch are any formal offers before the Nov. 10 deadline and how the Ravens respond after adding Jacoby Brissett at quarterback.
