General Manager Eric DeCosta suggested earlier this offseason that a contract extension could be on the way for Henry. The Ravens have multiple foundational players they want to reach long-term deals with, and they crossed Henry off the list before Organized Team Activities even began.<\/p>\n

“Derrick is just a phenomenal worker. He’s a pro. He does everything the right way, the way that he practices, the way that he takes care of his body, his mentality on the field, his leadership, his talent \u2013 he’s freakishly talented \u2013 his combination of size and speed,” DeCosta said after the 2024 season ended.<\/p>\n

“He was just a perfect player for us last year. [He was] the right addition, and he brought a lot to the table on the field and also off the field with intangible qualities. We’re blessed to have him, and I would expect his successes last year to continue this year.”<\/p>\n
