Derrick Henry Poised for Continued Success with Ravens in 2025
Derrick Henry recently concluded a remarkable 2024 season with the Baltimore Ravens and is already enthusiastic about the upcoming 2025 campaign. He expressed this excitement on his Instagram Stories, posting a screenshot of general manager Eric DeCosta's praise for the veteran running back, which included the caption 'run it back.'
Eric DeCosta hinted at the possibility of a contract extension for Henry, stating, 'Derrick proved he had a lot left in the tank. We'll look at that... I'm so grateful Derrick chose us last year.' Henry currently has a contract that extends through the 2025 season, following his two-year, $16 million deal signed last offseason, and his performance has certainly justified his addition to the Ravens.
Throughout the 2024 season, the 31-year-old running back showcased his exceptional skills, rushing 325 times for 1,921 yards and scoring 16 touchdowns. While it is common for running backs to experience a decline in performance as they approach their early 30s—particularly those who have shouldered a heavy workload like Henry—he has demonstrated that he remains a formidable force on the field. As discussions of a potential extension arise, it is clear that the Ravens value Henry as a key player moving forward.
