NFL RB Derrick Henry Wants to Retire as a Baltimore Raven
All-time great NFL running back Derrick Henry wants to finish his professional career with the Baltimore Ravens.
NFL running back Derrick Henry has expressed his intention to retire as a member of the Baltimore Ravens. In May 2025, Henry signed a two-year, $30 million contract extension with the team, committing to the franchise through the 2027 NFL season. At 32 years old, Henry is in the third year of his tenure with the Ravens. On Wednesday, he made it clear that he has no plans to play for any other team.
Henry stated, "When I'm done playing, I want to be done playing here," emphasizing that Baltimore will be his final destination. Despite fans and analysts expecting him to slow down as he ages, Henry has continued to defy expectations. In his 10th NFL season, through 17 games, he has recorded 1,595 yards and 16 touchdowns, achieving this milestone for the fifth time in his career and the fourth time with at least 16 rushing scores.
Henry downplays the idea of retirement in the upcoming season, stating that his focus is on improving and being a better teammate for the team's success. The Baltimore Ravens kick off their 2026 NFL regular-season schedule with a Week 1 game against the Indianapolis Colts on September 13.
