Giants just shattered Ravens’ leverage over Derrick Henry’s next move
Ravens extension department just got put on notice.
The New York Giants might have helped their own offense with the selection of Cam Skattebo, but they also accidentally complicated things for the Baltimore Ravens.
Baltimore is currently in a quiet but critical standoff with star running back Derrick Henry, who’s entering the final year of his two-year deal. After a monstrous season with over 2,100 scrimmage yards and 18 touchdowns, Henry has every reason to push for a well-earned extension. The Ravens, for their part, would love to get one done—but they’ve also quietly enjoyed having some fallback leverage. Until now.
With the Giants snagging Skattebo at the top of Round 4, the last “Henry-like” hammer in the draft is officially off the board—and that subtle leverage Baltimore had might have just disappeared.
Giants may have crushed Ravens’ contingency plan at running back
Let’s be clear: Cam Skattebo is no Derrick Henry clone. He’s 5-foot-9, not 6-foot-3. He’s 219 pounds, not 250. But if you squint a little? You see it. Skattebo punishes defenders in ways that few backs coming out of college can. He thrives on contact, runs with a finisher’s mentality, and plays angry from the first snap to the last. Sound familiar?
