Derrick Henry Rejects Trade Rumors Amid Ravens Losing Streak
The running back stated he is staying in Baltimore after the team dropped its fourth straight game, including a 33-10 loss to Jacksonville.
By Christopher Singh ·
Derrick Henry denied speculation that he will be traded from the Baltimore Ravens before the NFL deadline.
The team began the season with a 4-1 record but has lost four consecutive games. That slump includes a 33-10 defeat by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. The losses have pushed Baltimore to the bottom of the AFC North, where it trails the Pittsburgh Steelers by two and a half games. The roster also faces instability at quarterback due to an injury to Lamar Jackson, though the club acquired veteran Jacoby Brissett.
Henry addressed the media after Thursday's loss to clarify his status. He stated, "I'm not mentioning me going anywhere else." He added that the focus is to return to work and improve performance to turn the season around. His comments directly counter reports suggesting the franchise might move him to gain draft capital.
The running back moved into seventh place on the NFL's all-time rushing list during Thursday's game. His production makes him a target for teams seeking additional offensive power. Some analysts argue that trading Henry could secure valuable future picks for Baltimore while it remains in playoff contention.
The Ravens have not finalized a decision on his status. The team would likely demand substantial compensation before agreeing to a deal. For now, Henry continues to play with the intention of ending the current losing streak.
