What will Derrick Henry bring to Baltimore’s offense in 2024?

In the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Titans selected Alabama’s Derrick Henry. The 30-year-old just played the final year of his contract with the Tiatns. During the season, Henry eluded to his departure from the franchise in the offseason. It’s no surprise to hear that the free-agent RB has been signed. 

ESPN’s Adam Schefter was first to report that Derrick Henry has agreed to a two-year deal worth a base of $16 million with the Ravens. After eight seasons with Tennesee, Henry will play for Baltimore. The RB market was busy this offseason. Several teams have swapped RBs this offseason and Henry was one of them. To replace him in Tennesee, the Titans signed former Cowboys RB Tony Pollard.

This past season, Lamar Jackson won his second league MVP. It was a special season individually for Jackson who helped lead Baltimore to the Conference championship. Unfortunately, the Ravens fell shot and lost to the Chiefs. The one area the Ravens were lacking offensively was a dominant run game they could lean on. Lamar Jackson is a special talent at QB with the ability to scramble. However, the team needed a true RB they could lean on.

Derrick Henry is a perfect fit for the Ravens in need of a RB who can take their offense to the next level. In Tennessee, Henry was a featured piece of the Titans’ offense. During his 2020 campaign, Henry had 2,027 rushing yards and 17 rushing touchdowns. That dominant performance won him AP Offensive Player of the Year in 2020. That was his second straight season leading the league in rushing yards, rushing attempts, rushing yards per game, and rushing touchdowns.

Flock Nation I swea it’s up ! 💪🏾

In his final season with the Titans, Derrick Henry averaged (68.6) rushing yards per game. That was his lowest since 2018 when Henry had his first 1,000+ rushing yards season. The All-Pro RB will join a talented Ravens offense on a rather team-friendly deal. Henry agreed to a two-year deal with a base of $16 million. It’s worth up to $20 million and he’s getting $9 million guaranteed at signing. Baltimore’s offense could look more balanced in 2024 now that they have a top-tier RB.

ナダル優勝の全豪オープン決勝で観客乱入「難民収容を廃止せよ」横断幕手に

警備員に取り抑えられる乱入した観客(AP) <テニス・全豪オープン>◇30日◇優勝賞金287万5000豪ドル(約2億4000万円)◇男子シングルス決勝 世界5位のラファエル・ナダル(35=スペイン)が、4大大会男子シングルス単独最多21度目の優勝の快挙を達成した決勝の第2セットに、コートに観客が乱入する騒動があった。第2セットのナダル5-3リードの第9ゲーム途中に、観客席から黒いノースリーブのシャツを着て、黒の野球帽をかぶった男がコートに飛び降りた。警備員に取り押さえられた男の手には、「難民収容を廃止せよ」と書かれた横断幕が握られていた。大会前に、新型コロナウイルスのワクチン接種をめぐり、入国拒否に遭い、ビザを抹消された世界王者のジョコビッチ(セルビア)が収容されたのが、難民や亡命者を収容する悪名高きホテルだった。ジョコビッチは結局、国外退去となったが、この問題にからむそうだったと思われる。ナダルとメドベージェフの周りを、すぐに警備員が数人、取り囲み、大事には至らなかった。試合は、数分中断しただけで再開された。◆全豪オープンテニスはWOWOWで全日生放送、WOWOWオンデマンドとテニスワールドで全コートライブ配信される。
