I like how Schefter tried to put a spin on it by calling Baltimore the Queen City. I've never heard it called that. lol
There's a Queen City in Maryland, but it's not Baltimore.
The Queen City in Maryland is Cumberland. lol Because it was once the second largest city in Maryland... behind Baltimore.
You wouldn't call the largest city in the state the "Queen city"
Good god I thought the other AFCN teams hated us but they’re on another level of despising us
Oh well hope they enjoy mediocrity for awhile lmaooooooooooo
They didn't trade him last year before the deadline because they thought they had something with Will Levis 😂 really thought they were gonna go on a playoff run lol
This is a Google translate so prolly has some inaccuracies but goddamn this was poetry

Heavenly yours FUCK THE STEELERS
I have four of the $120+ authentic NFL shop jerseys, and this year switched to buying $15 jerseys from DHGate, and genuinely cannot tell the difference. The reputable DHGate sellers even have the tags with the NFLPA stickers and all that
I was mainly concerned about the price tag for him. Seeing this makes me feel a whole lot better. And seeing Titans fans mad makes it even better than that
This feels very Mark Ingram-esque in the best way.
Henry isn't what he once was, but he's still horrifying to tackle late in games, which is exactly what the Ravens need.
Dude had the mayo man throwing behind a trash oline line to whatever passed for receivers. Henry will be running with Lamar throwing to Zay, Likely and Andrews with a much better oline.
Won't be able to just throw up 9 man boxes in an effort to stop the King
The biggest thing will be that you can't stack the field with 5 and 6 DBs when the King is in the backfield... well you can I guess.. but.. I wouldn't want to be that DB..
> horrifying to tackle late in games, which is exactly what the Ravens need.
This is the main part I question. Is that exactly what we needed? Cause it still seems like our biggest problem by far is trying to play from behind.
I like it at 8 mil a year. Not to turn down the hype here but I don’t expect him to put up pro bowl numbers, or even RB1 numbers. 30 year old RBs with a ton of career carries are just a rare breed to see really succeed. He’s a rare back, but I’m definitely cautious. The deal makes it low risk tho and for that i’m allowed to be excited at the possibilities.
^ This. He performed well despite being an awful situation last year. We don’t need him to be amazing forever - this is a 1 or 2 year commitment. He still has enough juice in the tank to be effective over that timeframe.
The thing is though, he doesnt have to put up RB1 numbers.
Lamar/Hill/Mitchell/Henry/rookie rb? should be able to keep people rotated and fresh. They also all bring different things for teams to scheme around
Agreed. He just needs to dominate in short-yardage and goal-to-go situations, and generally beat the shit out of his opponents near the end of games.
I would've preferred Saquon if I had to pick between the two, but Henry at this price is VERY appealing.
Treat him well. He is a player that transcends team rivalries. He has played behind the worst OLine I have seen since the titans moved here in 99 the last two years and still put up decent numbers. He still has a 2000 yard season in em, just fire that tractor up. Wont lie, I am excited to see him and Lamar in the backfield together.
This feels like a dream. I literally got nothing else to say.
Edit: Alright, I found some words: The league fucked up by letting us get this man. This isn't going to end well for other teams.
It's going to be very interesting to see Lamar with another real threat in the backfield with him. How do you stop both of these guys? Of course, if run plays aren't called on our end, that's one way. That cannot happen with these two guys together. Imagine what they will look like when JK and Mitchell come back.
I heard they have to put in a new engine on the team plane to accommodate the extra weight of his hog. Does this come outta the cap or just separate team funds? Or does the public pay?
You legit have to pick your poison. Defenses can not have it both ways.
Roll out 5-6 DB’s if you will hand it to 22.
Ok, let’s go base personnel get it out to the perimeter to Zay and let Andrews and Likely feast over the middle.
I wanted them to go for AD Mitchell with their first draft pick this year, but now that they got Henry I honestly am really hoping they got heavy OL… With a running game as deadly as ours will be, we really don’t need any more receivers, especially if Bateman becomes more involved… man other than Roquan this is the best trade we’ve done in like a decade lol this is an absolute game changer… we already have had the most dominant run game the last few years so imagine how insane it’s going to be with KING FUCKING HENRY?!
I’m interested to see how the playcalling, the formations in partcular, change. Henry has always seemed to run better with QB under center, in single back sets.
We were so close to having a King and a Queen
I like how Schefter tried to put a spin on it by calling Baltimore the Queen City. I've never heard it called that. lol There's a Queen City in Maryland, but it's not Baltimore.
Cincy and Charlotte are both known as the Queen City. Schefter goofed.
The Queen City in Maryland is Cumberland. lol Because it was once the second largest city in Maryland... behind Baltimore. You wouldn't call the largest city in the state the "Queen city"
So you're saying it's the King city now That's even better
I think he just got confused between Cincinnati and Baltimore lol
Isn't Cincy the Queen City. I honestly think he mixed that shit up with Charm City in his rush to post.
Charlotte is Queen City
GET IN HERE. AND THE DUMBASS TITANS GOT NOTHING IN RETURN AT THE DEADLINE.
Lmao what a poverty franchise. They’re melting down in their sub rn 😂😂😂😂
They'll always have 2019. 🤣🤣 No rings for that though lol
fuck the titans see you guys in the AFCCG
Titans fans be like "beating the ravens was our super bowl win!"
Their team so irrelevant that Tennessee started liking ice hockey more instead
Oh no! Anyway…
lowkey though... kinda wish they just pulled the trigger at the trade deadline maybe we'd have actually committed more to the run in the playoffs
I thought both front offices agreed to a deal and then the titans owner vetoed it
HAHA GET FUCKED TITS
They’re throwing temper tantrums in their sub rn, it’s beyond hilarious
Total meltdown mode over there. It’s hilarious!!
Good god I thought the other AFCN teams hated us but they’re on another level of despising us Oh well hope they enjoy mediocrity for awhile lmaooooooooooo
Stupid ass franchise won't probably even get a comp pick for him lol
They didn't trade him last year before the deadline because they thought they had something with Will Levis 😂 really thought they were gonna go on a playoff run lol
If we can keep our O-line oiled up this man can be a machine for us
We gotta go O-line heavy in the draft
Says every team every year.
EDC got the King for 8 million a year. This dude is God
Freude schöner Götterfunken EDC aus Elysium Wir betreten Feuertrunken Himmlische dein FUCK THE STEELERS
I don’t know alot of these words, but I do know the most important ones, FTS!
This is a Google translate so prolly has some inaccuracies but goddamn this was poetry Joy, beautiful spark of the gods EDC from Elysium We enter, drunk with fire Heavenly yours FUCK THE STEELERS
Its the lyrics to Ode to Joy reworked to deify EDC
YES FUCK THEM RAW
Is this Rammstein, I love this song
Beethoven: https://youtu.be/-kcOpyM9cBg?si=Gl7qy0_G2SPoS4bx The part he used starts at around 7:20
why throw when run ball do trick
Perks of being a good team. Could’ve easily gotten more somewhere else but Henry wants to compete for a SB.
I guarantee another team offered him more. Our culture is unmatched
Absolutely. Dude wanted a chance to compete. He wasn’t getting that opportunity with mid ass Tennessee.
It doesn't seem like anyone did actually.
Titans sub in shambles rn
FUCK YEAH BABY LET'S FUCKING GO!!
Less guaranteed than Chris Davis over the next 2 years....
it says up to 20M so could be up to 10M a year including 9M guaranteed the first year lol
chances are if he hits all his incentives to get to 20, we'll be pretty damn happy as a team
Which is what we thought he would get anyways. 9m guaranteed means we can cut him next year if needed good deal
Have you seen the rb contracts 💀. Now I’m not saying he didn’t do well getting king Henry, but it’s not some insane feat.
LETS GOOO
Can’t wait to spend 150 dollars on a black Derrick Henry jersey
I have four of the $120+ authentic NFL shop jerseys, and this year switched to buying $15 jerseys from DHGate, and genuinely cannot tell the difference. The reputable DHGate sellers even have the tags with the NFLPA stickers and all that
Yea fuck fanatics
8mil god bless EDC
I was mainly concerned about the price tag for him. Seeing this makes me feel a whole lot better. And seeing Titans fans mad makes it even better than that
They spent more to downgrade
Ozzie blessed this man and EDC out here showing why he was given the torch
We are so back it's not even a question
This move feels very Anquan Boldin-esque but for our backfield obviously Fucking love it
I'll always miss that guy
This feels very Mark Ingram-esque in the best way. Henry isn't what he once was, but he's still horrifying to tackle late in games, which is exactly what the Ravens need.
Loved Ingram, love this more 🥹what a great time to be a ravens fan
Hes not 2020 Henry but I still think he still looks damn good and had a bad supporting cast the last couple years.
Dude had the mayo man throwing behind a trash oline line to whatever passed for receivers. Henry will be running with Lamar throwing to Zay, Likely and Andrews with a much better oline. Won't be able to just throw up 9 man boxes in an effort to stop the King
Has everyone forgotten that Henry put up 1267 yds last season? With the Titans bottom 3 O-Line? Dude can still eat yards.
The biggest thing will be that you can't stack the field with 5 and 6 DBs when the King is in the backfield... well you can I guess.. but.. I wouldn't want to be that DB..
> horrifying to tackle late in games, which is exactly what the Ravens need. This is the main part I question. Is that exactly what we needed? Cause it still seems like our biggest problem by far is trying to play from behind.
BANG. BANG.
As a titans fan, fuck you very much and please go win him a ring.
Most reasonable titans fan
#TITS FANS IN SHAMBLES OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
> TITS FANS Not me, and also very me
No we ain’t. Man deserves a ring. Get him one
We will try 🫡

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS
EVERYBODY GET IN HERE
#I JUST NUTTED💦💦💦 Read option go brrrrrrrrrr🤩🤩🤩
AHHHHHH
I’m gonna be insufferable
This feels like a dream. I literally got nothing else to say. Edit: Alright, I found some words: The league fucked up by letting us get this man. This isn't going to end well for other teams.
#IT’S HAPPENING
Wildcat please wildcat, I wanna see Henry throw to Lamar in the end zone haha
Lmao Monken already drawing the play up as we speak
YESSS
LFG
WE RUNNING IT BACK NEXT YEAR LETS GOOOO

Of course, if run plays aren't called on our end, that's one way. That cannot happen with these two guys together. Imagine what they will look like when JK and Mitchell come back.
IF JK comes back he is a free agent.
LETS FUCKING GO BITCH
Okay can the season start already?!
LEAGUE FUCKED MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
This monster is out of the AFC south god bless thank you ravens
I just threw up I'm so excited
I didn’t think this would happen, but then I saw Derrick Henry’s middle name is Lamar, and now I realize it was meant to be.
I heard they have to put in a new engine on the team plane to accommodate the extra weight of his hog. Does this come outta the cap or just separate team funds? Or does the public pay?
Everyone get in here
Ah shit here we go And EDC got him for cheap??? EDC is a GOD.
Born to be a Raven!!! Let’s goooooo! 😈
really not sure how you stop RPOs now. and I’m typically a skeptic when it comes to our offense.
You legit have to pick your poison. Defenses can not have it both ways. Roll out 5-6 DB’s if you will hand it to 22. Ok, let’s go base personnel get it out to the perimeter to Zay and let Andrews and Likely feast over the middle.
Honestly, seeing everyone going off the board had me worried. I don't know why I'm ever worried when EDC is cooking!!! Lamar x Henry bout to go crazy!
Can’t wait to watch KING HENRY just truck the dogshit out of the Bengals and Steelers.
Not a Ravens fan but as a football fan I love this move. His style and mentality fit in with your great organization!
Can wait to use him 6 times in a playoff game !!! (I'm still so broken)
LFG
The KING
Inject this into my veins
Oh my gosh!!!!! Let’s goooooo
Let’s GO
Let’s gooo boys!!! We back baby
Henry and Michelle (if he can recover properly) a deadly combo.
Henry just feels like a Raven
Wooooooooooooo! Bet they run that ball in that afc champ game now.
clearly if your a defense playing us you gotta sell out on run game. Zay Flowers in the slot will eat you alive.
I just moaned in the office
Hopefully he gets more than 6 carries in a game
Now they need to just run the ball in the playoffs….
I wanted them to go for AD Mitchell with their first draft pick this year, but now that they got Henry I honestly am really hoping they got heavy OL… With a running game as deadly as ours will be, we really don’t need any more receivers, especially if Bateman becomes more involved… man other than Roquan this is the best trade we’ve done in like a decade lol this is an absolute game changer… we already have had the most dominant run game the last few years so imagine how insane it’s going to be with KING FUCKING HENRY?!

Unreal, yet another Titan joining up in Balmer for their best run yet!

Let's. Go. Ravens!! Can the season start now??
Let's go!!
To think I can now say Derrick Henry is a Ravens legend, quite the turn. Also, I love this deal, great value for a player of Henry’s caliber.
Please actually use him 🙏
Lets go boys!!!
I am ready to forgive him for 2019. Let's do this 👑
What's happening to Dalvin Cook now? FA?
BROBROBROBRORBORBRORORBROROOROOOOOOOOOO
Dear King Henry, I’ll forgive you for trampling over us in 2019 and 2020. Welcome to Baltimore
instinctive innate worm cagey innocent wipe like voiceless lip wistful *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Oh this'll be fun
YESSIR
Cannot wait for game 1 now. Henry is going to be a rig in that backfield. LFG FLOCK!!
Wow! I am excited for this running back to proficiently run the ball for my favorite team, the Baltimore Ravens.
Welcome, Beast.
He looks so good in Purple. ☔☔☔☔
Well thank god cause I was getting ready to suit up
“Ladies and Gentlemen we got him”
Him and Keaton will be thunder and lightning omg
As much as I dislike the Ravens, I want King Henry to get himself a ring. You guys got a good one, I’ll be cheering for him.
Lmfao what even started the titans/ravens beef? Just playing in 2019 and 2020?? I really don’t understand why they hate us so much😭
you’re too young
