Running backs on the move in busy off-season

-

The Baltimore Ravens have made a big addition to their backfield.

Former Tennessee Titans star running back Derrick Henry is signing a two-year deal worth $16 million, per ESPN'S Adam Schefter. Schefter adds the deal could be worth up to $20 million with $9 million fully guaranteed.

Henry was one of among many star running backs that have been on the move during a busy NFL off-season.

The Houston Texans are expected to acquire running back Joe Mixon from the Cincinnati Bengals.

Mixon will replace Devin Singletary, who has agreed to a deal with the New York Giants.

The Giants were in the market for a running back after Saquon Barkley agreed to a three-year, $37.75 million deal with the rival Philadelph­ia Eagles on Monday night.

Running back Tony Pollard agreed to a three-year, $24 million contract with the Titans on Monday.

Pollard and second-year player Tyjae Spears are the new face of the Tennessee running game to replace Henry.

Pollard's deal matches the reported value of the Bears' agreement with D'andre Swift, a free agent who played for the Eagles last season.

Pollard rushed for 3,621 yards with 23 touchdowns in 79 games (23 starts) with the Cowboys.

Swift agreed to a threeyear, $24 million contract with the Bears. He led the Eagles in rushing with a career-high 1,049 yards, which ranked fifth in the NFL, on 229 carries with five touchdowns in 2023.

Elsewhere, quarterbac­k Kirk Cousins agreed to a four-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons.

The former Minnesota Vikings pivot, who will be 36 before playing his next regular-season snap, was tied for the NFL lead with 18 touchdown passes when he suffered the Achilles injury eight weeks into the 2023 season.

The Carolina Panthers continued reconstruc­ting its offensive line on Tuesday with a four-year, $53 million contract agreement with guard Damien Lewis.

The Eagles agreed to terms on a one-year deal with offensive lineman Matt Hennessy.

Defensive tackle Daquan Jones re-signed with the Buffalo Bills.

The New England Patriots re-signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor to a one-year, $1.3 million deal.

Defensive lineman Clelin Ferrell, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, will reportedly sign with the Washington Commanders.
