New Derrick Henry Trade Rumors on Teams Still Interested in RB Despite Ravens' Stance on Deadline

Teams around the NFL remain hopeful the Baltimore Ravens will consider trading star running back Derrick Henry, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter .

Schefter reported Sunday the Ravens "keep telling teams he's not available" with Tuesday's trade deadline quickly approaching.

Henry hasn't been a source of regular trade speculation, at least to the extent the Indianapolis Colts' Jonathan Taylor has . But teams might as well ask the question when injuries to quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley have cast a shadow on the Ravens' playoff hopes.

Baltimore isn't throwing in the towel, though. The team worked out a deal to acquire Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, which will stabilize the quarterback room.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also reported Sunday that Jackson, who needs surgery for a thumb injury, told his teammates he's aiming to return this season.

Jonathan Jones of The Athletic suggested a Henry trade could have wider implications with Jackson under contract for one more season: "Would [Jackson] leave the Ravens? One of the quickest ways to make that hypothetical a reality would be to trade Derrick Henry."

That's unlikely to become an issue. Making a short-term, win-now trade for Brissett and immediately dealing a massive blow to your backfield by offloading Henry makes little sense.

Because of that, it's safe to assume the five-time Pro Bowler will remain in Baltimore through the deadline.
