The Baltimore Ravens could’ve lost a major free agency battle to the Dallas Cowboys for the right to sign Derrick Henry if the mutual interest was there.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry made an interesting admission Thursday while meeting with the media.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Baltimore’s Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington on Sunday, Henry revealed that he considered signing with “America’s Team” as a free agent this past spring due to his proximity to the city as a Dallas native during the offseason.<\/p>\n

However, he prioritized Baltimore’s interest in him and ended up signing a two-year, $16 million deal with the Ravens in March after eight memorable years with the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n

“If Baltimore wasn’t interested, then I was thinking maybe Dallas because I live there,”\u00a0Henry said,\u00a0per the team website. “It’d be a convenient spot. But Baltimore was interested and I’m thankful. … Dallas is where I live in the offseason, and there are a lot of friends and family that will come to the game. I haven’t played there since 2018; I played there two times in college. It’s always a great environment.”<\/p>\n

With the Ravens currently sitting at 0-2 to start the season, Henry will be hoping he didn’t make the wrong decision. Of course, things aren’t exactly much better for the Cowboys, who are 1-1 after an embarrassing 41-19 loss at home to the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.<\/p>\n

Henry has only played at AT&T Stadium once in his NFL career, a 28-14 win for the Titans on Monday Night Football in Week 9 of the 2018 season. He had just six carries for 27 yards but ran in a one-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n

Through the first two games of his Ravens career, Henry has posted 31 carries for 130 yards and two touchdowns to go along with one catch for 12 yards.<\/p>\n

He and the Ravens will look to secure their first win of the season Sunday against Dallas. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
