Derrick Henry Trade: Insider Notes on Titans RB as Surprise Sleeper Team Emerges in Sweepstakes

[Jimbo123]

That is wishful thinking. The NFL is anything but granting wishes. You want Henry you better offer that 2nd round pick.

A 2nd for a Henry rental is crazy talk.

I have never been impressed with the Ravens under Lamar but i have to admit that the dismantling they did to Detroit last week left me in awe. If thats a consisitent theme KC and buffalo will have their hands full.

Me either. He chokes in big games and can’t beat the measly Steelers.

 

[Cowboyny]

LOL sweepstakes for a 30 year old RB with an inflated contract as bad as Dak Prescotts. Wanna be the one team participating in the so called sweepstakes are the Cowboys? Just the sort of thing Jerry would go for.

He is a fa after the season.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Ok then. You have basically said nothing is happening. Multiple times in multiple threads. So basically. Everyone is lying. Except you.

I know BS when I read it and I know 95% of these articles are nothing more than CLICK bait, nothing more.....the bigger question is, why are you so easily sucked into these articles????

I mean Ryan Tannehill, 2023

Yes, I agree that people underestimated him there for awhile. Was happy to see him get new life.
He still can be efficient at times. But nobody remotely fears him enough to not stack the box.

Teams will not be playing coverage against the Cowboys if Henry is in the backfield, him just being out there, will open up the passing game. Right now, teams don't respect our running game as we can't even have success against lighter boxes.

Yeah. Be a shame to miss out on the next Hill, Schoonmaker, or Williams. Oh lets not forget Kelvin Joseph.

The biggest issue this solves is the Redzone. If I am MM. I am going into Jerrys office saying. "if this is my last year let me show you what I can do with a real RB"

It's an all in type of move as constructed now, they aren't good enough.

 

[Jimbo123]

Not overpaying anything.

2 years, 12 million + incentives

Jonathan Taylor just got 42M for 3 years, You think Henry will sign for 12m for 2 years? LOL

I’d give up a Schoonmaker for Henry.

Henry imo gets you over a hump we haven’t been able to get over.

We don’t have a big game QB. He’s going to fail us in the post season.

This is how we overcome in this window.

 

[CATCH17]

Jonathan Taylor just got 42M for 3 years, You think Henry will sign for anything less?

He’s nearly 30.

This isn’t a long term move.

The sleeper team expected to be in the market for Henry are the Dallas Cowboys. The belief from many is Henry could end up in the NFC East with the Cowboys if Tennessee is willing to eat some of the money remaining on Henry’s contract, estimated to be around $6.2 million.

The Cowboys have Tony Pollard at the top of the depth chart- a player they franchised after releasing Ezekiel Elliott in March. Henry’s power running style is viewed as the perfect compliment to Pollard’s big play ability as a ball carrier and pass catcher.

Pauline is proven to be one of the best insiders who has been on the money in the past.

I think he could really bolster the team if his asking price is reasonable.

He not only helps the team now, but they aren't tied to his contract as it expires at the end of the season. Depending on how he plays, you can either extend him or might be able to receive a comp pick if he signs elsewhere (not sure of the comp rules)

 

[Deionindahood]

Yeah. Be a shame to miss out on the next Hill, Schoonmaker, or Williams. Oh lets not forget Kelvin Joseph.

You forgot Mazi. He's our 5 year project.

 

[Cowboyny]

Much rather trade for Henry then Surtain who will cost multiple 1st rd picks and we have to extend him.

 

[Deionindahood]

Maybe he can help block for the o-line. That would help.

Speaking of second rounders.

Yep. Over the hump. Just like in 2016 - 2022.
