The Baltimore Ravens had a relatively quiet start to the NFL’s permitted tampering period.

They are one of the few clubs in the league that has yet to reach an agreement with an outside free agent on the first day of negotiations.

Meanwhile, four players from their 2023 roster have already found other organisations.

Gus Edwards, for example, was the team’s starting running back for the most of the season.

Losing him could push the Ravens to make the huge move at running back that has been predicted all winter.

According to Browns source Brad Stainbrook, the Ravens have been in contact with Derrick Henry, a former Tennessee Titan running back.

Henry’s Fit With the Ravens.
Henry was once the NFL’s most dominant running back. At his best, the Titans were able to create a winning offence around him, which is something clubs rarely do with running backs nowadays.

In 2023, he wasn’t the same transcendent player, but he was still very good.

Running behind one of football’s worst offensive lines, Henry gained 1167 yards on the ground, averaging 4.2 yards per carry, and scored 12 touchdowns.

Despite being one of the league’s most run-heavy teams, the Ravens have struggled to produce at the position.

Throughout the offseason, they were expected to change that, and Henry was frequently mentioned.

They had even been the betting favourite to sign him throughout the summer.

Many other teams have already found their next running back early in the permissible tampering period, so the Ravens should not have much competition in acquiring Henry.
