Report: Derrick Henry is on the verge of being traded to an NFC powerhouse
The Philadelphia Eagles have managed to stay in the spotlight this off-season. After securing Jalen Hurts with a record-breaking contract, whispers suggest they might have more plans in the works. Akbar Gbajabiamila, former NFL defensive end and host of Ninja Warrior, claims that the Eagles and Titans are in the process of hammering out a deal for Derrick Henry. Although Akbar isn't a prominent source for NFL news, there are a few clues that lend credibility to this rumor.
Notably, Akbar is a former NFL reporter and shares the same representation with Derrick Henry at Creative Artists Agency, which could explain his access to this information. With the recent extension of Jalen Hurts' contract, the Eagles are under pressure to maintain their winning momentum. Since Miles Sanders moved to the Carolina Panthers earlier this year, adding a powerhouse like Henry would be a game-changer.
Henry, a three-time Pro Bowler, earned the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year title in 2020 and led the league in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in 2019 and 2020. Gbajabiamila's tweet has stirred various reactions from Eagles fans, who are trying to determine if the idea of Derrick Henry being traded to Philadelphia holds any water. While Gbajabiamila isn't a well-known news-breaker, his connection to Henry through their shared agency might have given him insider knowledge about a potential deal between the Eagles and the Tennessee Titans.
