Do you think the Ravens, if they continue to lose, would trade Derrick Henry?

I think that there has to be an assessment of what the window is, right?

Because Mark Andrews is not gonna be there next year.

So Mark Andrews is someone that I think becomes a trade piece.

I think you have to ask.

What is the asset we could get out of Derrick Henry, OK?

If you’re, now again, this depends on the record.

If they’re in a hole, you know, if you’re sitting there and we’re now saying, OK, well, this is a 6-loss team, right?

And they’re heading into the first week of November.

OK, well, then at that point, I have to consider if we can get the right asset for Derrick Henry, who would, you know, any team I think at this point would have to consider him a rental, and there would have to be a talk about, you know, who would eat what salary in the trade, um.

If you offered me a second round pick for Derrick Henry, I think if you’re the Ravens, you take it, you have to take it, because I think there’s an end of the road for what they were committing to when they paired Derrick Henry with Lamar Jackson, and I truly believe that compact period of time was 2024 and 2025, because they knew they were going to have to make some other decisions with other players on the roster like a Mark Andrews.

Yeah, listen, I agree with you.

If they continue to lose and somebody offers them a second, absolutely.

I would drive him to the airport and thank him for everything he’s done for the Baltimore Ravens.

That said, I find it hard to believe this is just me, that any team would give up a second round pick for any player whose age begins with a 3.

Now, other than obviously a quarterback who you think is a high-value quarterback with still years ahead of him, that would be a bit different.

Would the Chargers do it?

I mean, obviously Joe Ortiz is there in LA.

There are plenty of connections, like the coaches are brothers for Pete’s sake.

Would they do it?

I don’t know.

If you’re the Chargers, do you say, with both my tackles out, is Derrick Henry gonna even matter?

I’m gonna, I’m gonna roll with Kamani Vidal and with Hassan Haskins.
