The Pittsburgh Steelers could welcome another superstar running back to the AFC North, making their biggest competition even more dangerous as they enter the second half of the season.
Tennessee Titans star Derrick Henry is reportedly on the trade block, along with many other big names on the roster.
And according to AtoZ Sport’s Buck Reising, the Baltimore Ravens are showing the most interest in the All-Pro running back.
The Baltimore Ravens (5-2) are the team most interested in acquiring Henry as of Wednesday, but any potential deal could fall through if the compensation is not right,” Reising writes.
Baltimore did lose their starter, JK Dobbins, to a torn achilles this season and could be looking for a star in front of Gus Edwards.
The Steelers by no means want Henry to join a division that already features the Cleveland Browns – where anyone can run for 100 yards, and Joe Mixon.
You could toss Lamar Jackson’s name in there as well when it comes to big-time runners.
Henry, 29, has rushed for 425 yards and three touchdowns so far this season.

Pickett, when healthy, has been one of the problems. This was illustrated on Sunday when he missed open receiver Diontae Johnson over the middle on the first drive, then came back later in the first quarter and failed to connect on a third-down throw to George Pickens, who was running a deep corner route.
The alternative? Mitchell Trubisky relieved Pickett for the second half on Sunday and was hardly up for the task of saving the day.
With Pittsburgh trailing by seven in the fourth quarter, Trubisky threw the type of ugly interception that you wouldn’t expect from a seventh-year veteran. He forced the pass into triple coverage over the middle.
