The Baltimore Ravens are bolstering their already impressive running game with one of the best running backs in the NFL. According to multiple reports, the Ravens signed Pro Bowler Derrick Henry on a two-year deal.

The Ravens had a long-standing interest in Henry, trying to trade for him last season. However, they now get their man on a reasonable contract worth $16 million without giving up any draft compensation.

Henry will reportedly receive $9 million in guaranteed money in 2024. He will also have an opportunity to boost his earnings through bonuses and could end up making a total of $20 million in the next two years.

Derrick Henry spent all of his eight years as a pro with the Tennessee Titans. He is known for his bruising style of play and ability to handle a larger number of carries compared to other running backs. Henry has had four Pro Bowl appearances since entering the league as a second-round selection in 2016, while he led the NFL in rushing yards and touchdowns on two occasions.

Henry had a down year in 2023 by his standards, averaging 4.2 yards per carry, the lowest since his sophomore season. However, he still managed to rush for 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns.

League sources revealed that the Tennessee Titans informed Derrick Henry that they do not plan to trade him before the upcoming deadline. This comes after the team received inquiries about the Pro Bowl running back from numerous teams.

While Henry is believed to be a highly valuable player to the Titans, it would not make much sense for the team to seek a trade for him given that his contract expires at the end of the season. Furthermore, the would-be free agent is set to earn $6.4 million over the rest of the season; a steep financial requirement for teams to meet.

On the off chance that a trade deal is pursued, an agreement would have to be in place before the end of Monday as the other team involved would most likely look to launch a counteroffer to save on their salary cap.

If you are to believe the media reports, the Tennessee Titans have been shopping their star running back Derrick Henry for the better part of the offseason. But being mentioned in trade rumors doesn’t seem to be bothering Henry.

Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Henry said he had multiple conversations with Tennessee’s new general manager Ran Carthon and is “not worried” with all the chatter about his future with the franchise. 

“Talking to him, meeting him in person,” Henry said. “I’ve put a face with the name. Just doing all of those things. When we get here, when we get to football, we’re not worried about that other stuff.”

Henry had another big year in 2022, making the Pro Bowl after rushing for 1,538 yards and 13 touchdowns. However, many believe that the Titans are ready to move on from him for a number of reasons.

First of all, the Titans might want to get younger and cheaper on the running back position, considering that Henry is 29 years old and will have a $16.3 million cap. Also, this offseason might be their only opportunity to get some assets in return, considering that his contract will have only two voidable years left after the 2023 campaign.

The Tennessee Titans decided to be cautious with the way they bring their star back Derrick Henry back to action from a right foot fracture. According to the team’s head coach Mike Vrabel, while Henry is set to be a full participant in training camp, the 28-year-old player won’t be featured in preseason games this year.

“I wouldn’t anticipate seeing Derrick in the preseason games,” said Vrabel during a press conference on Thursday.

Vrabel also added that the Titans intend to modify their approach to Henry’s practice regimen and try a few “different things.”

Derrick Henry started the 2021 season red-hot, rushing for 937 yards and 10 touchdowns in the first eight weeks of the campaign. Unfortunately, he suffered a Jones fracture in his foot during the Week 8 clash against the Indianapolis Colts and was sidelined for the remainder of the season. When the injury occurred, Henry led the league in carries, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns while also being on pace to break the NFL’s single-season rushing record.

Despite not being fully recovered, Henry returned to the field for the Divisional Round game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He finished the contest with 62 yards on the ground and a TD but couldn’t help the Titans avoid a 19-16 defeat.

Derrick Henry’s MVP-worthy campaign in 2021 might come to a disappointing end. According to multiple reports around the league, Henry is dealing with a foot injury that might rule him out for the remainder of the season.

Henry felt discomfort in his foot in the first quarter of Tennessee’s 34-31 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts but remained in the game after getting it checked on the sidelines. However, the 27-year-old wasn’t his dominant self after and finished the contest with 68 rushing yards, his lowest since the season opener.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Titans are waiting for an MRI to determine the extent of Henry’s injury but not to expect good news. The Pro Bowler is most likely dealing with a Jones fracture that will require surgery and see him end his season prematurely.

Other reports, including the one from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, indicate that the expected timeline for Henry’s recovery might be around eight weeks. This would allow him to return in time for the playoffs if the Titans manage to get in without him.

Derrick Henry has been the NFL’s best running back in 2021 and has made a case to become the first non-quarterback to win the MVP award since Adrian Peterson did it in 2012. Throughout the first eight weeks of the season, Henry had the league-leading 937 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. He also added 18 catches for 158 receiving yards.

Winning football games is a lot easier when you have a player like Derrick Henry on your side. Henry once again made a case for being the best running back in the league on Monday night, scoring three touchdowns and carrying the Tennessee Titans to a 34-31 upset win over the Buffalo Bills.

The Titans trailed the game multiple times, but Henry found a way to flip the score in their favor each time. His first TD came in the second quarter and it was a thing of beauty. The Pro Bowler broke free on 1st&10 and carried the ball for 76 yards to make it 7-6 for Tennessee after the Bills scored two field goals.

Tennessee found themselves down again in the third quarter so Henry went to work and got his team on top with another TD run.

Henry’s third touchdown came late in the fourth when he sliced through the Bills’ defense on a 13-yard run. The score put Tennessee back on top with a 34-31 lead.

The Bills got the ball back with less than three minutes remaining and marched 79 yards down the field to find themselves staring at 4th&1 on the Titans’ three-yard line. The field goal would tie the game, but Buffalo decided to go for it. Quarterback Josh Allen attempted a QB sneak which ended up going nowhere as Tennessee’s defense stuffed him on the line of scrimmage and made the game-winning stop.

Derrick Henry finished the contest with 143 rushing yards on 20 carries while also adding two catches for 13 yards on top of his three touchdowns. This was Henry’s third time in the last five weeks to have three TDs in a single game.

The Titans are now comfortably first in AFC South with a 4-2 record and two more wins than the Indianapolis Colts on the second. The Bills, on the other hand, have the record on top of AFC East.

The Atlanta Falcons have found their new general manager and head coach this week.

The team will hire former New Orleans Saints front office executive Terry Fontenot, who spent the last 18 years in New Orleans. The new head coach will be former Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.

Both Fontenot and Smith said that they will collaborate heavily in order to shape the Falcons’ roster both through the draft and in free agency. The Falcons hold the No. 4 pick in the 2021 NFL draft.

Smith also noted that he will be calling the offensive plays as head coach, stating that he believes that Atlanta’s veteran quarterback Matt Ryan is still a “terrific quarterback” with whom the team can win.

He also said that the goal will be to play to the strengths of Atlanta’s roster instead of insisting on trying to replicate the run-heavy success that he had in Tennessee with star running back Derrick Henry leading the attack.

Fontenot interviewed with four other teams for their open general manager jobs before deciding to take the Falcons job, stating that he is already very familiar with the Falcons’ roster since Atlanta and New Orleans are division rivals that play each other twice a year.

In last year’s playoffs, Tennesee Titans star running back Derrick Henry ran wild against the Baltimore Ravens for 195 yards, knocking them out of the playoffs on their way to the AFC Championship Game.

The Ravens made sure that history wasn’t going to repeat itself in this year’s Super Wild-Card matchup.

The Baltimore defense dominated the line of scrimmage, holding Henry—who rushed for over 2,000 yards this season—to only 40 yards on 18 rushing attempts.

On offense, the Ravens rushing game excelled, led by star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown on 16 attempts.

With Henry being taken out of the game completely, the Titans had to rely on the arm of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who looked good leading the Titans offense in the first quarter, connecting numerous times with his Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown.

However, down 20-13 in the fourth quarter, Tannehill ended up throwing a costly interception, picked off by Ravens defensive back Marcus Peters, which sealed the win for the Ravens.

The Ravens will now head to Buffalo to face the Bills in the next round of the playoffs, while the Cleveland Browns, who upset the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, will face the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Tenessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has become only the eighth player in NFL history to finish the season with more than 2,000 rushing yards.

Henry came into the game needing 223 rushing yards to reach 2,000, an almost insurmountable goal for most backs in the league. But not for Henry, who had rushed for more than 200 yards four times in his career even before Sunday’s game.

The Pro Bowl running back finished the game with 250 rushing yards, leading the Titans to a 41-38 win over the Houston Texans and securing the AFC South title for Tennessee for the first time since 2008.

The first player to break 2,000 rushing yards was Buffalo Bills legend O.J. Simpson, who did it in 1973. The last player to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season was Adrian Peterson, who rushed for 2,097 yards in 2012 with the Minnesota Vikings.

Henry finishes the season with 2,027 yards and will look to continue his dominant play in the playoffs. With Henry leading the offense, the Titans were able to shock the NFL in the 2019 postseason, beating the favored New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens to reach the AFC Championship.

Henry has become the face of the franchise and was awarded for his spectacular play this year with a lucrative four-year, $50 million contract.

Most NFL teams have trouble moving the ball through the air in cold and snowy conditions. But most teams don’t have Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback.

Rodgers put in a dominant performance in snowy weather, leading the Green Bay Packers to an easy 40-14 win over the Tennessee Titans at Lambeau Field on Sunday night.

Rodgers connected on 21 of 25 passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns, helping the team improve to 12-3 on the year and making him the clear-cut favorite to win the NFL MVP award this year.

While many figured that the running attack of the Titans and their bulldozer running back Derrick Henry would have the advantage in these conditions, Green Bay went about business as usual with Rodgers at the helm. The veteran quarterback connected with his favorite target Davante Adams 11 times for 142 yards and three touchdowns.

What makes Rodgers’ performance this year even more special is that he seems to continue to win in spite of his team and detractors. While some inexplicably sought to write him off this year, the quarterback has done nothing but win and put up ridiculous numbers in the process.

The Packers have already clinched a playoff spot by winning the NFC North but can secure the top seed in the NFC and a first-round bye with a win in their final regular-season game next week against the divisional rival Chicago Bears.
