Ravens Not Trading Derrick Henry Before Deadline
· Confirmed
In Short: Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is not expected to be traded before the NFL trade deadline, according to multiple reports.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Ravens officials recently informed Henry they have no intention of dealing him.
Henry himself gave no indication he was looking to go anywhere when asked about the possibility of a trade following the Ravens' 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night.
According to Bleacher Report, Henry has 545 rushing yards and is averaging 3.6 yards per attempt in eight starts since running for 144 yards in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Despite the Ravens' ongoing four-game losing streak and their current 4-5 record, the team is unlikely to move Henry prior to Tuesday's trade deadline.
The Ravens' upcoming schedule includes winnable games against the Los Angeles Chargers, Carolina Panthers, and Houston Texans before a bye in Week 13.
Henry has still produced a respectable 689 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on the season overall.
The New York Giants are exploring alternatives to bolster their backfield, but there is no direct evidence that they have inquired about Henry.
Baltimore would take on a $12 million dead money charge by trading Henry, according to Profootballrumors.
Henry, who has 13,707 career rushing yards, is due to earn a base salary of $6 million when the Ravens handed him a two-year, $30 million extension ahead of the 2025 season.
While the Ravens are 4-5 and very much alive for a playoff berth, they are the only team in their division with a losing record and have been outscored by 71 points over their last three games.
The reports confirm that the Ravens have no plans to trade Derrick Henry before the NFL trade deadline, despite speculation and the team's current struggles.
The sources agree that Henry has not expressed any desire to be traded and that the team is focused on stabilizing their current roster.
What's confirmed
- "I have not mentioned me going anywhere else," Henry said.
- Ravens running back Derrick Henry is not expected to be moved by the NFL trade deadline, league sources told ESPN, putting an end to speculation that Baltimore would be willing to deal the five-time Pro Bowler.
- The reason there had been speculation about Henry is because Baltimore has lost its top two quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson and Tyler "Snoop" Huntley, to injuries.
- The Baltimore Ravens star running back Henry is not expected to be traded before the Nov. 10 deadline, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Saturday.
What's still developing
- Justice Hill #43 of the Baltimore Ravens runs the ball for a 65 yard touchdown.
- There were suggestions that his two former head coaches, John Harbaugh in New York and Mike Vrabel in New England, could be interested, though there is no direct evidence that either coach inquired about Henry.
- In July 2020, Henry signed a four-year, $50 million contract with the Titans that included $25.5 million in guaranteed money.
- After Thursday night’s 33-10 loss to the Jaguars, a clearly frustrated Henry (who rarely displays frustration publicly), said he hasn’t mentioned going elsewhere as the trade deadline looms.
- When John Harbaugh said “I can call Steve Bisciotti” on Monday and referred to the Baltimore Ravens owner as a “great friend,” he was speaking hypothetically about the connections he might work to do business around the league.
- But Henry, due to his 2,837 career regular season carries, should come at a more reasonable price if Baltimore decides to sell off pieces of a team that is crumbling in the wake of Harbaugh’s firing last January.
- By Adam La Rose | at November 6, 2026 9:56 am Thursday night saw the Ravens suffer another lopsided defeat.
- He has been at his best this season with a healthy Jackson under center, as Henry rushed for 374 yards and seven touchdowns over the first four games before Jackson missed three contests with an ankle injury.
- Harbaugh coached the Ravens for over a decade and drafted Hill in 2019.
