Realistic Derrick Henry trade packages the Vikings, Packers and Broncos can offer

Why Baltimore might trade Henry

Jacoby Brissett is expected to provide help, but the piece argues he may not be enough to keep Baltimore’s offense competitive while Jackson rehabs. It says Henry has been valuable, but Baltimore has not moved closer to a Super Bowl since he arrived.

Minnesota’s proposed offer

The Vikings are described as potential buyers for running backs, having been linked to Jonathan Taylor and Tony Pollard. At 6-1, Minnesota is said to need more from its rushing attack amid uneven quarterback play, despite Jordan Mason’s presence.

The suggested price for Henry is a third-round pick and a sixth-round pick. The proposal notes his age, 33, as a reason he may not command a second-round selection, while arguing he could help Minnesota turn regular-season success into a deeper playoff run.

Green Bay and Denver options

Green Bay’s interest is tied to uncertainty around Josh Jacobs, who has denied recent domestic abuse allegations; the NFL is investigating. Jacobs is not expected to face further suspensions for now, but the Packers may want insurance if the investigation leads to discipline.

A compensatory third-round pick and a fifth-round pick are proposed for Henry, although the piece also says the Ravens’ asking price should not exceed a second-rounder. Denver is described as having the greatest need for running back depth, with RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie on injured reserve and JK Dobbins also hurt. The Denver proposal is called the strongest, but no specific picks are given; the piece says Baltimore may hesitate to trade Henry within the AFC.
