The Baltimore Ravens' 2026 title hopes took a major hit when quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a season-ending right thumb injury in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. With the team at 4-4, speculation has mounted that the Ravens could become sellers ahead of the November 10 NFL trade deadline.
New York Giants insider Paul Schwartz reported that five-time Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry, 32, could be made available to running-back-needy teams. Here are five potential landing spots for Henry if Baltimore decides to move him.
Green Bay Packers
The Packers have been in trade talks with the Indianapolis Colts for Jonathan Taylor, but uncertainty around Josh Jacobs' availability due to a potential suspension makes Henry a cheaper alternative. Green Bay holds extra draft picks in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds in April, allowing a competitive package without a first-rounder.
New York Giants
Giants head coach John Harbaugh has long favored a run-heavy offense and previously pushed to acquire Henry in Baltimore. Pairing Henry with rookie Cam Skattebo could create the punishing ground attack Harbaugh desires.
Denver Broncos
Denver's offense has struggled with quarterback Bo Nix not progressing as hoped. Adding Henry would significantly upgrade the backfield, forcing defenses to respect the run and opening up the passing game.
Minnesota Vikings
Despite Aaron Jones Sr.'s solid season, the Vikings' quarterback weakness has linked them to Taylor rumors. With a defense capable of a Super Bowl run and defensive coordinator Brian Flores potentially leaving for a head coaching job, Minnesota may be desperate to maximize its window.
Seattle Seahawks
Seattle's backfield has been plagued by injuries, and even when healthy, questions remain about its championship caliber. The defending champions possess all their future draft picks, including extra selections in rounds three and five in 2027, giving them ample trade capital.
