Derrick Henry, one of the most famous and talented players in the NFL, finally signed a contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens , as per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This new deal has made Derrick Henry one of the highest paid players in the league after he signed an extension for two years worth a whopping $30 million but it seems like some fans are not happy with this.
Derrick Henry’s new $30 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens raises eyebrows as many fans criticise this decision
ESPN’s Adam Schefter took to his account on X to share the news. The post read as, “Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens reached agreement today on a two-year, $30 million extension that includes $25 million fully guaranteed over the next two seasons, per Todd France of Athletes First. It is the largest deal in NFL history for a running back over 30 years old.”
However, the news has not impressed many fans. Many fans have criticsed Derrick Henry’s growing age that might have an impact on his performance.
A fan commented, “Too much... Absolutely overpaid at that age... One injury and gone…”, while another fan wrote, “30 years old and 2355 career carries. The analytics say he’s bound to lose a step. Not worried.”
A third fan wrote, “Paying 30m per year to a 37 year old running back😂😂😂”, while another user commented, “I remember when he didn’t score for a month straight”
A fifth fan noted, “2 more chances to lose against KC in Championship game.”
However, other fans of Derrick Henry’s have supported his new deal.
A fan wrote, “Ravens locking up Henry for 2 years after his 1,921-yard season is pure genius. $25M guaranteed for a 31-year-old back who just dominated? Baltimore playing chess while others play checkers with that RB market.”
Another fan commented, “Age doesn’t matter for this man. He is a machine. I see at least 1 more 2000 yards season for him”
A third fan wrote, “This is great news for the Ravens. Derrick Henry is going to be the key to the ravens Super Bowl win this season. Book it”
Derrick Henry is considered to be one of the strongest players in the league
