2 Clear Favorites Emerge to Trade for Ravens RB Derrick Henry
Ravens star Derrick Henry has reportedly drawn interest from two NFL teams before the trade deadline, including an AFC contender.
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, 32, is a sought-after trade option as the NFL trade deadline approaches. Henry, who has over 4,000 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns in three seasons with Baltimore, has been on the team since 2024. However, the Ravens are struggling without star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who suffered a thumb injury in their recent loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The team has yet to secure a permanent starting quarterback, as rookie Joe Fagnano stepped in for Thursday Night Football against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Two teams, the New England Patriots and New York Giants, have emerged as potential destinations for Henry. Both teams have connections to Henry, as New England's head coach Mike Vrabel previously coached him for the Tennessee Titans, and John Harbaugh coached him for the first two seasons of his Ravens tenure. Although there is no guarantee that Henry will move before Tuesday's trade deadline of November 10, his contract situation and the Ravens' bleak playoff chances make him an attractive trade target.
The Patriots, in particular, could benefit from adding Henry, as their quarterback Drake Maye would have another reliable weapon on offense. With his size and skills, Henry would be a great fit for the Patriots, who are looking to make another push into the postseason.
