Derrick Henry pushes Ravens toward A.J. Brown trade

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry urged the club this week to pursue a trade for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, aiming to boost the offense ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Henry made the appeal publicly on social media, pointing to his past success with Brown in Tennessee.
“That’s a game-changer for any offense,” Henry wrote, adding that elite receivers are “what wins playoff games.” Brown remains under contract with Philadelphia, but trade speculation has intensified as Baltimore looks to strengthen its passing attack.
NFL analysts believe Henry’s message reflects urgency inside the locker room. “When star players speak out, it shows belief that the team is close,” one league insider said, as quoted by U.S. media. The decision now rests with the Ravens’ front office.
