Waiting until the trade deadline, which is typically during Week 9 of the regular season, would help Tennessee evaluate where it is in the standings and what other teams need help in the backfield. Perhaps a contender will lose an impact runner to injury and be more willing to deal significant draft capital to add someone like Henry for a potential Super Bowl run.
Alas, Titans general manager Ran Carthon told reporters that Henry is not on the trade block this offseason.
This is the last year of his contract
Not exactly what he said.......... not receiving calls is a bit different from NOT being on the trading block
If the
Tennessee Titans are planning to trade
Derrick Henry, that's news to Ran Carthon. The Titans general manager shut down the social media report that the team is looking to trade Henry,
admitting the team hasn't received any calls on the star running back.
"We also were apparently trading
Jeffery Simmons at one point and during that entire period we were negotiating his deal," Carthon said when asked about Henry. "There's things I want to say, but I won't. It is what it is.
"We won't do business in public. I always lean on taking care of the player and taking care of the family."
There has been no indication of Henry leaving the Titans or getting traded to another organization, but the three-time Pro Bowler does have one year remaining on his contract with a base salary of $10.5 million. His cap number is $16,367,647 for 2023, the final year of a four-year deal with the Titans he signed in 2020.
