Star running back Derrick Henry recently made a bold move by parting ways with the Tennessee Titans and signing with the Baltimore Ravens in free agency. In an interview on “The Pivot” podcast with former NFL stars Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor, Henry revealed that he had considered the Dallas Cowboys as a “perfect situation” due to his proximity to Dallas and the familiarity it offered. However, the Cowboys did not show any real interest in pursuing a deal with him.
“I knew that once free agency started, I wanted to work something out [with the Ravens] if we could,” Henry said. “Even though I’m living in Dallas and Dallas being a perfect situation as well because we lived there and wouldn’t have to move.”
Despite his initial interest in the Cowboys, Henry expressed contentment with his decision to join the Ravens. He emphasized his excitement about the team’s hunger for success and their strong desire to win a Super Bowl.
“I’m happy I’m going somewhere where they’re hungry for it and they’re right on the cusp,” Henry added. “They’re trying to win it. And being so close and losing that game to Kansas City, I know they’re hungry, I know they’re going to come in with the right mindset and let’s get to it.”
Henry is eager to propel Ravens to Super Bowl glory
Having never reached the Super Bowl in his NFL career, Henry is eager to contribute to the Ravens’ pursuit of a championship. He joins a Ravens team that is determined to bounce back from their recent AFC title game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite an impressive 13-4 regular season record, the Ravens fell short of their ultimate goal, and Henry is poised to play a key role in their quest for redemption.
“I’m happy I’m going somewhere where they’re hungry for it and they’re right on the cusp,” Henry added. “They’re trying to win it. And being so close and losing that game to Kansas City, I know they’re hungry, I know they’re going to come in with the right mindset and let’s get to it.”
Henry’s arrival brings renewed optimism to the Ravens’ fanbase as they aim to capture their first Super Bowl title since 2012. With his exceptional talent and determination, Henry has the potential to make a significant impact and help propel the Ravens to championship glory.
