NFL Analysis
“Flock Nation I swea it’s up ! 💪🏾“ writes Henry on X.
The bullish former Alabama back, now 30, still appears to have a lot left in the proverbial running back tank. There has been talk that Baltimore would offer Henry a two-year, $20 million deal; what he gets is essentially two years and $16 million
He's coming off a productive year. Henry rushed for 1,167 yards on 280 carries and scored 12 touchdowns. His average yards per carry last year was 4.2, down from his career average of 4.7, but that could be due to a down season for the Titans' offensive line as much as anything.
The Ravens were unable to compete for Saquon Barkley, who jumps to the Eagles with a three-year deal worth $37.75 million. But the Lamar Jackson-led Ravens obviously feel they can compete with anybody with “King Henry” on their side.
