Breaking News: Derrick Henry-Titans Trade Situation Takes a Significant Turn
The Tennessee Titans have reportedly informed star running back Derrick Henry that they currently do not have plans to trade him before the approaching deadline. However, there are sources within the NFL who believe that a potential Henry trade might still be in the realm of possibility.
"The Tennessee Titans informed Derrick Henry this week that they don't plan to trade him despite receiving inquiries about the Pro Bowl running back, league sources told ESPN. This doesn't mean he won't be traded by Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline � the Titans simply told Henry they don't intend to move him. League sources believe that as much as he has meant to the Titans, it would make sense for the organization to explore trade possibilities for Henry, who is on an expiring contract and will be a free agent after this season League sources still believe there is a chance Henry could be traded, though there is not as much interest in him across the NFL because of his age, production, expiring contract and cost for the rest of this season."
While the Titans recently traded All-Pro safety Kevin Byard to the Philadelphia Eagles, indicating they are open to deals, they appear to have a different stance on Henry, despite trade rumors involving him, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill. It's unclear whether they are unsatisfied with the trade offers they've received for Henry or if they are still harboring hopes of a successful postseason run.
General Manager Ran Carthon is taking a calculated risk by potentially allowing Henry, who is set to become a free agent, to walk away without receiving compensation in return. Derrick Henry, a three-time Pro Bowler and the 2020 Offensive Player of the Year, is currently on pace for another 1,000-yard season, having gained 425 yards and scored three touchdowns in the Titans' first six games of the season. He has also contributed 11 receptions for 117 yards.
The Titans, with a record of 2-4, are hoping to rebound and improve their standing when they face the 4-3 Atlanta Falcons at Nissan Stadium on Sunday.
