The Baltimore Ravens might undergo a tremendous amount of turnover before next season starts – a season they hope results in coach John Harbaugh hoisting the Lombardi Trophy after a Super Bowl LIX win in New Orleans.
Likely gone are running backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards – their No. 1 and No. 2 backs from last season. Because of their philosophy of “running back by committee” over the past few seasons, the Ravens have only had one back post a 1,000-yard season since quarterback Lamar Jackson arrived in 2018.
If they decide to abandon that tactic, there are feature backs that are available through free agency. One of the most prominent available is eight-year veteran Derrick Henry, who has spent his entire career with the Tennessee Titans.
Regardless of a high workload over his eight seasons, the former Alabama back still appears to have a lot left in the proverbial running back tank.
Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox projects that Baltimore will offer Henry a two-year, $20 million deal. That would be a pay cut for Henry, who’s coming off a $12.5 million season in Tennessee.
