Ravens Predicted to Move On From $104 Million RB Derrick Henry
The Baltimore Ravens have seen their season go completely off the rails just 5 games into the 2025 regular season — they’ve gone from legitimate Super Bowl contenders to tied for last place in the AFC North after a 1-4 start.
That means some parts of the team could become expendable pretty soon, and according to Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox, that could be NFL All-Pro running back Derrick Henry.
The Ravens signed Henry to a 2-year, $30 million contract extension on May 14 after he finished second in the NFL with 1,921 rushing yards in 2024 and led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns.
“Since gashing the Buffalo Bills for 169 yards in Week 1, Henry has tallied 50 or fewer rushing yards in every game,” Knox wrote. “While benching Henry wouldn’t really solve any of Baltimore’s offensive issues, moving him ahead of the trade deadline could make a ton of sense. The 31-year-old would be more valuable on a championship-caliber roster, and the Ravens could get out from under the two-year, $30 million extension he signed during the offseason.”
Henry’s current contract runs through 2027. He will have approximately $104.4 million in career earnings when it ends.
Were the Ravens to actually put Henry up for grabs via a trade, it’s not hard to imagine a long list of suitors — and mostly contenders — would line up to make a deal.
Henry Had Epic Crash Out Earlier This Season
Henry had one of the great crash outs in recent memory during a 38-30 home loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 3 after he lost a fumble in his third consecutive game to start the season.
The fumble, which came with 8:31 left to play, was followed by an uncharacteristic, emotional outburst from Henry, who slammed his helmet and tumbled into the bench area as he appeared to be near tears.
Henry finished with 12 carries for 50 yards and 1 touchdown.
Henry also had a costly fourth quarter fumble in a season opening loss to the Buffalo Bills. That one came with 3:00 left in the fourth quarter and set up the winning score for the Bills, who rallied from a 40-25 fourth quarter deficit for a 41-40 win.
Henry One of NFL’s Greatest RBs of All Time
Henry, a 3-time NFL All-Pro, is already established as one of the great running backs of his generation and could be one of the greatest running backs of all time. He’s also the only running back to run for 2,000 yards in a single season in high school, college and the NFL.
Drafted in the second round (No. 45 overall) by the Tennessee Titans in the 2016 NFL draft out of the University of Alabama, Henry rushed for over 1,000 yards in 6 of his first 9 NFL seasons. That included becoming one of just 9 players in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season in 2020, when he was also named NFL Offensive Player of the Year.
While Henry is still on pace to rush for over 1,000 yards this season, he may have bottomed out in a 44-10 to the Houston Texans in Week 5 in which he had just 33 rushing yards on 15 carries.
Browns’ OC Tommy Rees Shares Plans for New OT Cam Robinson After Limited Debut

The Cleveland Browns have been very busy on the trade market over the past couple of weeks, as they have swung three separate deals recently that have shaken up their roster. The first of that bunch saw them acquire offensive lineman Cam Robinson and a seventh-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft from the Houston Texans in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2027 draft.
With Dawand Jones suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 3, the Browns needed some more help at left tackle, which prompted them to make a move for the veteran Robinson. After playing sparingly in his first game with his new team, though, offensive coordinator Tommy Rees opened up on what Robinson’s role with Cleveland will be moving forward.
Tommy Rees Dishes on Cam Robinson
In addition to trading for Robinson, the Browns have also sent Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals after he was benched in favor of Dillon Gabriel and acquired Tyson Campbell from the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Greg Newsome II going the other way. Of these three moves, though, Robinson’s could end up being the most important given the team’s need for help at left tackle.
Even though Robinson turned in one of the best seasons of his career last year, this is his fourth team in the past 12 months. Robinson started the 2024 campaign with the Jaguars before getting traded to the Minnesota Vikings. In free agency over the offseason, Robinson signed with the Texans, but he quickly lost his starting job at left tackle, leading to him getting sent to the Browns.
Robinson started Cleveland’s first offensive series in its Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings before KT Leveston took over for him, which led to questions about Robinson’s role with the team moving forward. Rees refused to commit to Robinson as the team’s starter at left tackle in Week 6, but it sounds like his role should be expected to increase moving forward.
“Hard week for Cam. You come here and then all of a sudden, you’re going to Europe,” Rees said on Thursday. “We felt like he did a nice job during the week. We had a plan going into the game, get his feet wet a little bit, see how it continues to go. and evaluate him from there. He did a nice job for us a week ago getting ready to play, and we’ll continue to build on that.”
Will Cam Robinson Start for the Browns in Week 6?

It remains to be seen whether or not Robinson will start in Week 6, but the situation has been made a bit more complicated due to Leveston dealing with a calf injury that has limited him at practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. With Robinson not being on the injury report, could that lead to Cleveland taking the training wheels off for him sooner than expected?
The Browns draw a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, with their longtime division rival featuring a strong pass rush led by T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. If Cleveland’s offensive line doesn’t hold up, it could be a long day for Gabriel under center in this one. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday afternoon, and fans will be paying close attention to Robinson to see how much he plays after his limited debut in Week 5.
