Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry’s stellar season has kept fans and his loved ones talking. His girlfriend, Adrianna Rivas, shared her excitement about his NFL future after a divisional playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills. Despite the loss, Rivas highlighted her pride and optimism for Henry’s journey.
Adrianna Rivas shares heartfelt support
Adrianna Rivas took to Instagram to express her admiration for Derrick Henry’s performance and future. After Ravens GM Eric DeCosta praised Henry’s exceptional debut season, Rivas reshared DeCosta’s Instagram post with her own heartfelt caption: “So grateful we became the part of the Flock,” accompanied by a bird and purple heart emoji.
This wasn’t the first time Rivas publicly supported Henry. Following the Ravens’ close 27-25 playoff loss to the Bills, she shared another emotional message: “From the highest of a mountain or the lowest of a valley, I will praise His name. TO GOD BE THE GLORY ALWAYS.” In another post, she wrote: “Two two—I’m so proud of you. I love you endlessly ♥.”
The couple, together since 2016, shares two daughters, Valentina Allure and Celine Amor. Rivas’s unwavering support has been a constant in Henry’s career.
Ravens GM hints at Henry’s contract extension
Derrick Henry’s future with the Ravens looks promising. General Manager Eric DeCosta praised the 31-year-old running back’s performance, stating: “I’m so grateful that Derrick chose us last year. I can honestly just say his attitude and the way that he played was amazing to watch.”
The Ravens highlighted DeCosta’s statement with a simple one-word Instagram caption: “Grateful.”
Henry, who signed a two-year, $16 million deal last offseason, is set to earn $12.9 million in 2025, the second-highest cap hit among running backs. DeCosta hinted at a possible extension, adding, “We’ll look at that.”
Financial considerations for the Ravens
With limited cap space projected in 2025, extending Henry’s contract could offer relief. His $7 million cash earnings next season rank seventh among running backs, giving him leverage for a significant extension.
For Baltimore, securing Henry ensures continuity in their ground-heavy offensive strategy. His standout 2024 season proves he remains one of the league’s most reliable running backs.
