Each NFL offseason there are star players that hit free agency.
That seems to be no different this offseason, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
One player that seems destined to join a new team is running back Derrick Henry.
His time in Tennessee has seemingly come to an end.
But, where he will play next season is very interesting.
Henry wants to play for a contending team and there should be a few looking for a running back.
One that comes to mind right away is the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens are a run-first team and they have J.K. Dobbins coming off an Achilles injury.
It would make a ton of sense for them to pursue Henry.
Robert Griffin III thinks Henry would be a perfect fit in Baltimore.
Griffin said: “Derrick Henry should be a Baltimore Raven because he already plays like a Raven.”

Henry is a big, physical back and that is what the Ravens need.
He would pair nicely with Lamar Jackson in the run game.
Even though Henry is 30 years old, he is still running well.
This past season Henry rushed 280 times for 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns.
He has now led the NFL in attempts in four of the last five years.
It would be a risky move to sign Henry to a long-term deal, but he could be good on a one-year deal.
It appears that Henry has lost some explosiveness in recent years.
Still, he would be the best running back on the Ravens and that alone is worthy of a deal.
