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.
