General Manager Eric DeCosta has a flair for the dramatic (and I’m not just talking about bottle feeding baby goats).

A couple years ago, he and Lamar Jackson agreed to a contract extension on the same day the NFL Draft opened. This week, DeCosta and Derrick Henry came to terms on a contract extension on the same day the NFL schedule was released.

It was busy in Baltimore. Here are my thoughts on the week, all in 50 words or less:

• Henry is now under contract through the 2027 season. It's a good bet that the +30-year-old running back will continue to be productive. Coming off arguably his best season, Henry is the exception to basically all the rules, including aging. I predict another huge season ahead.

• The Ravens' front office continues to do an excellent job propping the franchise's Super Bowl window open. The offensive core (Jackson, Henry, Ronnie Stanley) is all under contract through 2027. Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman are through 2026. Jackson and Tyler Linderbaum extensions, and a tight ends solution, are next.

• So long as Jackson is on the team and healthy, the Ravens are going to be really good on offense. But keeping Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken this offseason and retaining key pieces for this year and beyond positions last year's top-ranked Ravens offense for sustained dominance.

• Now to the schedule. When trying to judge how fair it is, one way is to look at how much rest your opponents are getting before taking you on. The Ravens came out net positive in rest differential (+4) and better than its AFC North rivals except for Cincinnati (+7).

• The Steelers' schedule is similar to last year's – lighter in the beginning and brutal down the stretch. In Pittsburgh's last six games, it faces the Bills, Ravens twice, Dolphins, and road trips to Detroit and Cleveland. The Steelers finished last season on a five-game losing streak, including playoffs.

• The Chicago Bears may be the toughest team to size up on the Ravens' schedule. Will Caleb Williams take off in Year 2 behind an improved offensive line and with Head Coach Ben Johnson's new scheme? It's probably good the Ravens get extra study time during the bye.

• What's the best home game on the Ravens' schedule? Thanksgiving night against the Bengals could be epic. Week 3 versus the Detroit Lions is a rare "Monday Night Football" win for Baltimore. That environment is going to be electric, similar to last year's September primetime game against the Bills.

• As Roquan Smith often says, "Chin up, chest out." He set an early tone for the Ravens' offseason preparations when he told NFL Network's Rich Eisen, "It'll be nice to get up there in Buffalo and get a little payback for those guys from the end of the year."

• Ar'Darius Washington's Achilles injury is a tough blow for him and the team. The Ravens could add a veteran this summer but count me as intrigued by the potential of rising sophomores Sanoussi Kane and Beau Brade. They were good on special teams and in the preseason last year.

• Next week, NFL owners will reportedly discuss allowing players to participate in the Olympics in flag football. It's a great way for the NFL to continue to grow its international fanbase. However, I imagine owners aren't going to like the possibility of added injury risk to their players.
