After weeks of speculation, the Ravens have made it official: the two-time NFL rushing leader and four-time Pro Bowler is coming to Baltimore. The announcement comes after Henry’s free agency stirred intense league-wide interest, but it was the Ravens who ultimately sealed the deal—and made one of the boldest statements of the offseason.
“This is the kind of move that shows we’re serious about winning a championship,” Bisciotti said in a team press release. “John [Harbaugh] and I were completely aligned on this. Derrick brings a power, mentality, and experience to this locker room that’s unmatched.”
A Power Shift in the AFC?
With Lamar Jackson under center and now Derrick Henry in the backfield, the Ravens have instantly become one of the most feared offenses in the league. Henry’s punishing running style and ability to dominate in the fourth quarter is exactly what Baltimore has been missing in recent postseason pushes.
“It’s rare to get a player of Derrick’s caliber who’s still hungry and has something to prove,” Harbaugh said. “He’s a perfect fit for Ravens football.”
Analysts are already calling this one of the biggest free-agent moves in recent team history. Henry, known as “King Henry” for his bruising runs and highlight-reel stiff arms, brings not only skill but also a veteran presence that could galvanize the entire roster.
A Super Bowl or Bust Mentality
With the Ravens already among the top contenders in the AFC, this move makes their intentions crystal clear: it’s Super Bowl or bust. And with Henry now sharing the backfield with the league’s reigning MVP, the road to the Lombardi Trophy just got a lot more interesting.
“The Ravens aren’t just trying to make the playoffs—they’re trying to win it all,” said one NFL analyst on ESPN. “And with this move, they just might.”
For fans across Baltimore, the excitement is palpable. Season ticket sales are spiking, merchandise orders are flooding in, and the message is loud and clear: the Ravens are all in.
