BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Ravens have joined in on the NFL's free agency frenzy.
On Tuesday the team bolstered their rushing attack with the signing of Pro Bowler Derrick Henry.
WMAR-2 News sports reporter Shawn Stepner confirmed the move, which was first reported by ESPN'S Adam Schefter.
The deal is for $16 million over two years ($9 million guaranteed), with the potential to be worth up to $20 million.

On Monday the team lost a longtime member of their backfield in Gus Edwards, who signed a multi-year deal with the Chargers.
Henry, 30, is coming off a 2023 season in which he rushed for 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The former Heisman Trophy winner has earned four trips to the Pro Bowl in eight seasons.
During that span he's scored 93 total touchdowns, while surpassing the thousand yard rushing mark five times, including a career high 2,027 yards in 2017.
Although the Ravens haven't yet made an official announcement, Henry already took to X (formerly known as Twitter) indicating he's on his way to Charm City.
Governor Wes Moore responded saying, "Oh, it’s way up! Let’s go Flock!," with a followup tweet of "Welcome to Baltimore."
