The running back is a Titans legend, but is not coming off his best season in Tennessee
The Ravens’ agreed-to signing of Henry comes after the franchise attempted to trade for him last year, according to Schefter.
However, the running back is not coming off a vintage year.
His 4.2 yards per carry in 2023 was his lowest mark since his sophomore season, while he also played just 53 percent of the snaps and ceded playing time to backup Tyjae Spears.
Nevertheless, Henry still finished the season with 1,167 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, and he will now look to add more firepower to a Ravens offense led by Lamar Jackson.
Henry’s departure seemed likely when the Titans agreed to a three-year deal with Tony Pollard
Henry’s departure from Tennessee appeared imminent after the team agreed to sign former Cowboys running back Tony Pollard to a three-year contract worth $24 million.
And there was plenty more running back movement on the first day of the NFL’s legal tampering period, with Saquon Barkley agreeing to join the Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million pact and Josh Jacobs heading to the Packers for four years and $48 million. .
D’Andre Swift also agreed to join the Bears on a three-year contract worth $24 million, while Austin Ekeler will join the Commanders on a two-year deal for $8.34 million.
Contracts cannot be formally signed until Wednesday.
