Derrick Henry has found a new home, joining Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. The former Titans running back announced on X Tuesday morning that he was signing with the reigning AFC North Champions. Henry agreed to a two-year $16 million deal. This comes at a time when the Ravens still need an in-between-the-tackles North-South type of runner.

Henry is the perfect fit for the Ravens, and Baltimore tried to trade for him multiple times before finally securing the deal. He had an impressive 1,167 rushing yards and scored 12 touchdowns. The fact that he can play all 17 games when fully healthy is also a significant factor that convinced the team to sign him as their running back.
Take a look at the fans reacting to the news on X, formerly known as Twitter.
