Star running back Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens agreed to terms on a two-year, $30 million extension that includes $25 million fully guaranteed, his agent told multiple media outlets on Wednesday.
Per ESPN and NFL Network, it’s the largest per-year salary for a running back over 30 years old in NFL history.
Henry, 31, signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Ravens ahead of the 2024 season. He paid significant dividends, rushing for 1,921 yards and a league-best 16 touchdowns in 17 games (all starts).
A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Henry is the NFL’s active leading rusher with 11,423 yards and 106 touchdowns in 136 career games (105 starts) with the Tennessee Titans and Ravens. He has seven consecutive seasons with at least 10 rushing touchdowns.
