The Tennessee Titans have let it be known that they are shopping Derrick Henry. After several productive seasons with the team and finishing second in the league in rushing last season, the big running back has become expendable. Henry appeared to have lost a step in the open field after returning from injury. However, he is still a force and by far the best asset the Titans have to trade.
As per CBSSports.com… Although it might sound crazy to trade Henry, who finished second in the NFL with 1,538 rushing yards last season, the fact of the matter is that the Titans have been doing their best to free up cap space any way they can this offseason. New Titans general manager Ran Carthon has been busy dumping big contracts that were put in place by the prior regime.
Over the past few weeks, the Titans have cut ties with several veterans, including Taylor Lewan, Robert Woods, Zach Cunningham and Randy Bullock. In another big move, NFL.com reported on Monday that the Titans are also planning to release Bud Dupree, who was scheduled to have the second-biggest cap hit on the team in 2023 behind only Ryan Tannehill. Getting rid of Dupree is expected to free up $9.35 million in cap space.
As for Henry, the Titans would pick up $6.26 million in cap space if they’re able to trade him. Under the terms of his current contract, Henry is scheduled to make $10.5 million in base salary in 2023, which is the final year of his deal.
Derrick is only 29 years old in January he’s still got 3to 5 good years left he’s in great shape and he missed a game and still had over 1500 yards with a sorry o-line what do you think he will do next season with a good o-line they will be stupid to let him go
