Derrick Henry says Cowboys never showed interest: ‘I don’t know what’s really going on over there’

Derrick Henry is happy to be part of the Baltimore Ravens, but the star running back appears to be a little miffed with one team that didn’t even bother to reach out to him this offseason. 

Henry, who signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Ravens, recently opened up on whether or not the Dallas Cowboys had expressed any interested in signing him. The Cowboys need a running back, and Henry was available as his contract with the Titans was expiring. 

“Dallas didn’t even … not at all,” Henry said during an interview with Adam Schein. “I don’t really know what’s going on over there. They wasn’t in contention. Baltimore was showing the most interest and was somewhere I wanted to be. I’m glad we got it done, but the Cowboys never called at all.

Had they called, would Henry have been interested in joining the Cowboys? 

“Yeah, of course,” Henry replied. “That’s where I stay in the offseason. … That’s a great organization. Would have been a great opportunity, but I’m thankful that I ended up here in Baltimore, somewhere I wanted to be. They wanted me here as well. It’s a perfect match. I’m excited. This is an exciting time for me and my family. I’m just ready to get to work.”
