The NFL league year is set to begin on March 13, and while the new season will officially begin once again, so will the free agency period. For star players who find themselves looking for a new situation, such as Derrick Henry and many others, this is a time of being courted — in conventional and unconventional ways.
Such is the case for a Baltimore-based restaurant that is pulling out all of the stops to ensure that Henry will bring his services to the Ravens. What they are offering may not be a bad deal and one that Henry may have to take into consideration while going through the process.
Baltimore Restaurant Recruiting Derrick Henry to the Ravens
For the first time in his accomplished NFL career, Henry looks to be set to pick a new home outside of Tennessee. The star running back’s time as a Titan looks to be coming to an end, and with that comes the natural discussion of where his next stop may be.
What started as an opinion by ESPN NFL analyst and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III turned into an offer from a Baltimore restaurant that may be hard for Henry to refuse.
Wholeheartedly agree with @RGIII on this match made in Smashmouth Heaven. In fact, we’ll offer @KingHenry_2 free crabcakes for life if he signs with The @Ravens! #CrabcakesAndFootball https://t.co/f2694Hu2aH pic.twitter.com/tBVRP6wwV4

RGIII took to X to voice his opinion on where Henry should go, stating, “Derrick Henry plays with physicality, is relentless in his preparation, and has a clear passion to get over the hump to play for a championship.
“There is only one place for him to go. Derrick Henry should be a Baltimore Raven because he already plays like a Raven.”
From there, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood took the chance to quote tweet the post with a delicious-looking picture of their famous crabcakes along with a sales pitch to hopefully lure Henry to their city to play for the Ravens.
“Wholeheartedly agree with @RGIII on this match made in Smashmouth Heaven. In fact, we’ll offer @KingHenry_2 free crabcakes for life if he signs with The @Ravens! #CrabcakesAndFootball.”
It may not be the reason to pick Baltimore for his next stop, but the prospects of being able to have crabcakes for free — for the rest of his life — certainly can’t hurt the matter either.
