Baltimore Eyeing Backfield Duo That Could Break the League

Baltimore, MD – May 28, 2025 – The Baltimore Ravens may have already stunned the league by signing Derrick Henry earlier this offseason, but rumors now suggest that the front office isn’t finished reshaping the backfield. According to multiple reports, the Ravens are eyeing former Browns star Nick Chubb as a potential addition, creating a thunderous duo that could redefine power running in the NFL.

Though Henry remains the centerpiece of Baltimore's ground game, depth behind him is less than ideal. Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell provide speed and agility, but lack the bruising style required for heavy workloads deep into January. That’s where Chubb enters the equation. Despite suffering a brutal knee injury at the end of 2023 and a follow-up foot injury that shortened his 2024 campaign, Chubb remains one of the most feared rushers when healthy. With 51 career touchdowns and four Pro Bowl selections, he brings a resume few can match.

"Baltimore wouldn’t need him to carry the full load," noted analyst Daniel Alameda. *"They'd need him to complement Henry and keep the pressure relentless on opposing defenses. He can handle third downs, spell Henry, and provide a contingency plan if injuries hit."

The possibility of Chubb wearing purple and black is even more tantalizing given the Ravens' recent offensive evolution. Under offensive coordinator Todd Monken, the Ravens led the league in rushing efficiency last season, and pairing two veteran backs known for their power and vision could give Baltimore a playoff edge unmatched in the AFC.

Financially, a deal could be feasible. Chubb is still recovering and may be open to a short-term, prove-it contract with a contender. The Ravens aren’t flush with cap space, but a low-risk deal for a high-upside backup would make sense for both sides.

Of course, this would mean an awkward reunion with a former AFC North rival. Chubb spent his entire career in Cleveland, often facing Baltimore with brutal physicality. Now, the idea of him joining forces with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry flips the narrative entirely.

"If this happens, the Ravens' offense won't just be dangerous—it'll be unrelenting," wrote one fan on X. *"Imagine stopping Henry for two downs only to get trucked by Chubb on third. Good luck, NFL."

The move isn't official yet, but Baltimore’s interest is real. If the Ravens pull this off, their backfield could become the most feared duo in football—a one-two punch designed not just to win games, but to wear down an entire league.
