 Wow, so now it's expected It's a building belief that the Baltimore Ravens are going to be trading for Derrick Henry Nothing's official yet But that's what's been going on around the league according to Tony Pauline who wrote this article for sports Keita And he's somebody that's been covering NFL for a while. He covers the NFL draft. He's an NFL insider He's been in the business for a hot minute But this almost makes me feel like this could lead to heartbreak for a lot of Baltimore Ravens fans reason I say that is because When when Baltimore Ravens make a significant move whether it be a significant trade or signing Usually not every time but usually it's something that we don't really hear about too often and it comes out of nowhere And we like oh man, I like the move, but I didn't even hear that the Ravens were doing that But with this Derrick Henry to the Ravens peace this news this speculation whatever you want to call it We've been hearing more and more and more about it So that almost makes me feel less and less and less that it's likely to happen But hey, we won't know till we know and we'll know in Less than five days now going to the article from sports Keita that Tony Pauline wrote And let's just get down to the good part it says several teams have been thrown out as potential suitors for Derrick Henry Including Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens as well as one sleeper team that I'm hearing about while it's all speculation at this point This is what league insiders tell me so here we go Wow, Derrick Henry to the Miami Dolphins has built steam on the internet most inside the league Don't believe this is a trade that will happen as several people told me Henry is not a good fit for the Miami Dolphins And it would be a system disconnect for the offensive scheme head coach Mike McDaniel runs Henry is not a zone runner and his past catching ability has really deteriorated both skills required for the Dolphins offense So how good of a fit would he be with the Baltimore Ravens? because Why like Justice Heel the running backs like Justice Heel Keith Mitchell those are better fits than August Edwards or Derrick Henry now Even though they're better fits that don't mean that other running backs can't get the job now We've seen Gus Edwards. We've seen what he can do and Derrick Henry I mean regardless of whether it's the best fit or not Still Derrick Henry the man can still play so anyway Let's continue with the article because this this is the next part that really got me it says There is a building belief that Henry could end up in Baltimore the Ravens number one back It's Gus Edwards a serviceable former undrafted free agent who was once again thrust into the starting role after JK Dobbins was lost for the season after tearing his Achilles in week one. You know was so crazy a Lot of times I forget and it's no disrespect to him Of course, but it feels like it's been so long forget that we even had JK Dobbins for part of week one It seems like that was so long ago and it sucks because We weren't even supposed to be having this conversation about trading for a running back We're not even supposed to be talking about this because we supposed to be like we got JK Dobbins Gus Edwards Justice Heel key and Mitchell. We got Melvin Gordon on the practice squad. We straight That's supposed to be what the conversation is but Unfortunately do the injuries. Well, you know the rest of the story anyway continuing it says After a promise and rookie campaign JK Dobbins towards ACL of August of 2021 and missed the entire year the belief now Here goes he goes a kicker right here and see this this makes a lot of sense to me I says the belief is that Baltimore will explore trades for other backs on the market and if a more Athletic versatile runner becomes available for a reasonable price. They'd prefer to look in that direction So it's like with Tony Pauline. It's like. Hey, yeah, the Ravens. They want Derek Henry. They like Derek Henry love Derek Henry, but to an extent to a certain price To a certain ability to his certain abilities So according to him, he's like, hey, they're gonna be nice Ravens like Derek Henry But they are still keeping their options open and that just confirms everything everything that we were saying yesterday When this news first came out about the Ravens being interested and being seriously interested in Derek Henry Because it makes sense that they will want to upgrade the running back room There's a lot of uncertainty there and I remember in the video that we did yesterday about Derek Henry Somebody put in a comment section. They were like, oh man if the Baltimore Ravens trade for Derek Henry That will be a slap in the face to Gus Edwards and Hey, look, I'm I get it. I completely get that I understand that but when you look at it for years and Ain't no other way to put this man and it I'm not I don't agree with it but It is what it is at this point and ain't no other way to say it But the Ravens have been slapping Gus Edwards in the face for years for years and the reason I say that is because He could have been the number one back. He came he came through with Lamar Gus Edwards has been here since Lamar Jackson got 2018, baby Gus Edwards been around for that and it's crazy at time flies. Don't it don't it? It's like we don't watch Gus Edwards grow up from this young boy to a man now You don't got a second contract and whatnot, but he been around since then and if they ain't giving them the opportunity To be the number one back by now since 2018 after five six years Then it ain't never gonna happen man It's never gonna happen and yet he wasn't undrafted rookie free agent So I wouldn't have expected them to be like, all right undrafted rookie free agent You're gonna be the running back now You're gonna be our number one guy. No, we wouldn't expect that but year after year after year after year We're Gus showing you what he can do and you still haven't made him the number one back And I mean now this year he's been sort of a starter But it's really like him and Justice Hill they really shit at workload a lot and they compliment each other nicely But Ravens don't really have a clear cut established number one back. Now. Do they need one? It depends on how you look at things Some people could look at it like alright Yeah Ravens they need that clear cut guy that guy that could take over from start to finish and he can be that guy Of course, they have backups and whatnot. He'll come off for a rest But they need that bell cow back then there's other people that say hey, you know We could still continue to use multiple backs. We could have a downhill runner Then we could have the the the shifty running back the pass catch out of the backfield and whatnot. Hey the more the merrier You keep guys fresh you keep guys healthy you keep guys on a rotation And there's other people will be like well you want to stick with the hot hand if somebody's going off You want to let them get make them keep going off You want to give them every single opportunity in the world for them to continue to go off against an opposing defense? so it's so many different ways that you can look at it, but This article right here got me looking at this whole Derek Henry scenario in a different way in a different light Only because it's getting so much attention it's getting a lot of attention now Apparently Derek Henry is getting even more attention from another team too because it says the sleeper team Expected to be in the market for Derek Henry are none other than the Dallas Cowboys Says the belief for many is that Henry could end up in the NFC East with the Cowboys If Tennessee is willing to eat some of the money remaining on Derek Henry's contract estimated to be around nine million Dollars that the Cowboys have Tony Pollard at the top of the depth chart a player that they franchise after a seeking Releasing Ezekiel Elliott in March and Henry's power running style is viewed as the perfect compliment to Paula's big-play ability As a ball carrier and pass catcher see yet see that's that's it right there and that right that part right there Really makes you wonder it really makes you wonder But at the same time Are the Ravens gonna do like two big power backs with with with Henry and Gus Edwards? along with two Smaller, but shifty or faster backs with Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell Who knows? Hey, we'll see we'll see because I mean that I mean the more the merrier right now Be even more quality at the running back position so you can't go wrong with more quality depth right now You can of course not and shout out to Keaton Mitchell for returning to practice by the way They said he was limited. He was limited So he's probably still ain't gonna play in his game But that is a beautiful sign for next week and we'll see how this whole running back situation shakes itself out next week Because well, yeah, you get it. Um, but anyway, and Roquan Smith, too Hey, Roquan Smith on track to play this Sunday after having a little scare. They gave us yesterday about he was shoulder was injured Glad that's in the past but anyway Just to me I it's not looking like it's gonna happen, but that's just me I want to hear what y'all think. Let me know what y'all think in the comment section If you think this whole Derek Henry to the Baltimore Ravens thing is for sure is going down It is imminent is going to happen You let me know or if you think like me and it's not really looking like it Especially because everybody just talking talking talking talking talking about it Then those things just usually don't happen with the Baltimore Raven But I look forward to hearing from y'all in the comment section I love y'all make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any news on the Baltimore Ravens videos like these and plenty of others I love you. I appreciate you and like Derek Henry will probably soon be when it comes to being with the Tennessee Titans. We out
