Ravens not expected to trade Derrick Henry before deadline

Baltimore has lost four straight and fallen to 4-5, but league sources say the 32-year-old running back is staying put past Tuesday's deadline.

Derrick Henry will reportedly still be a Raven when the 2026 NFL trade deadline passes on Tuesday. Despite Baltimore's season unraveling with four consecutive losses and a 4-5 record, league sources told ESPN the team is not expected to move its star running back before the cutoff.

The speculation around Henry picked up as the Ravens' playoff hopes faded and the roster dealt with what has been described as catastrophic injuries at quarterback. With the season sliding, some assumed Baltimore might shift into seller mode and listen on its 32-year-old veteran. Other teams reportedly would welcome the chance to add him.

Instead, the Ravens appear set to hang onto Henry rather than part with him for draft capital or young talent. Separate reporting has also tied the Ravens into broader trade deadline buzz involving other teams, including interest from the Giants in a Baltimore teammate.

For now, Henry remains part of a Ravens team trying to find its footing after a rough four-game skid, with the front office betting it can stabilize the roster without trading away one of its most recognizable names.
