After spending his first eight seasons with the Tennessee Titans, Henry was an instant hit in Baltimore. After the season ended, Henry was in line for a raise. Both sides wanted to keep a good thing going, and a deal eventually came together.

"I'm just very grateful for this organization," Henry said. "Just like last year, coming off the season I had [in Tennessee], I wasn't really happy, and I wanted to prove myself and just get an opportunity, and they gave me the opportunity. I'm very appreciative of how much they value me, to give me an extension, and I just want to show them how much it means to me, how much this organization means to me by the way I work and what I do on the field."

Henry said earlier this offseason that he wants to finish his career in Baltimore. The extension puts him under contract through 2027, but Henry didn't say this would be his final deal.
