Could depend on how badly theTitans want to go into tank mode. They traded Brown last year, Bayrd this year. Unfortunately both to the Eagles.
So do they dump Henry for lower pick, and tank even more.
They need to replace Tannehhill. So how high can they get in the draft without feeling the need to trade up.

Why not send them Lance? Get Henry and Hopkins :lmao:

Oh that would make for some interesting threads for sure.
I mean. Its not a horrible idea. Lance for Henry and Hopkins. Throw in a 2025 6th that can turn into a 5th.

They get a past top 3 pick at QB.

(I know its never going to happen)

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.
As much as i love Henry, he's got a Ton of wear on the tires. I'd rather trade for Zac Moss of IND that was primary runner racking up 500+ yards so far, is a FA next year (IND just resigned there primary back) and would not command as much Money next off season as Henry to resign. he's a Good back just had Injury issues in College.

Everyone knew this team needed a power back. But hey at least we got schoon, and mighty mouse instead.
Everyone knew except the team. The Cowboys figured they’re paying Pollard just over $10 million on the franchise tag so he’s going to be the guy. We’ve miscalculated at RB over the years so many times it’s funny. Troy Hambrick, good role player, lousy starter. Marion Barber, great role player but not a good starter. Felix Jones, good role player, but not a good starter. The Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle combo didn’t work.

Derrick Henry had 1500 yards rushing last year. Only Josh Jacobs had more rushing yards than him. At 29/30 years old, Henry is still one of the best players at his position, I wish you guys stop with this notion that Henry is washed up and about to hit the retirement home.

Henry on this Cowboys team would open up the passing game if defenses want to put 8 in the box to stop the run
I'm not sure a team needs 8 to stop our RBs. We're ranked 16th in the NFL in rushing yards. I'm not sure what Henry is going to bring with our o-line.

You skipped over the part about the Ravens being the favorites to land Henry. Another organization where winning actually matters. Apparently they arent as worried about the money part.
And the Ravens actually look to be pretty legit. Might secretly be the best team in the league right now
