The Baltimore Ravens have locked in their star running back for the foreseeable future. Derrick Henry, one of the NFL’s most dominant rushers, has signed a $30 million contract extension, securing his role as the focal point of Baltimore’s ground game.

The deal, finalized late Thursday, extends Henry’s stay in Baltimore by two years, with $18 million guaranteed. It’s a strong vote of confidence in the 30-year-old back, who joined the Ravens in 2024 and quickly became a central figure in their offensive scheme.

Per-Game Breakdown

With the extension averaging $15 million per year, here’s what Henry will pocket each regular season game:

• $882,353 per game (based on 17 regular season games)

This doesn’t include potential playoff bonuses, performance incentives, or endorsement tie-ins that could push the figure higher.

Ravens’ Commitment to Power Football

General Manager Eric DeCosta praised Henry’s impact, saying, “Derrick brings toughness, leadership, and a relentless work ethic to our locker room. This deal reflects not just his production, but what he means to this franchise.”

Last season, Henry racked up over 1,200 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, silencing critics who questioned his durability and fit in a dual-threat offense with quarterback Lamar Jackson.

What’s Next?

With Henry now locked in and the offensive core intact, the Ravens are signaling a clear intention to chase a Super Bowl window that remains wide open. The extension also gives the team flexibility to focus on reinforcing its offensive line and depth behind Henry in future drafts and free agency.

Fans can expect to see more of that signature bruising style from Henry—now knowing each carry comes with a hefty price tag.
