Even though Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon is not ruling out a reunion, Derrick Henry will most likely play somewhere else in 2024.
According to ESPN’s Turron Davenport, Carthon stated on Tuesday, “He knows where we are and we know where he is.” “We’ll be in a good position to take on any necessary tasks. We’ll talk to Derrick and his team when those discussions are necessary.”
Derrick Henry is a versatile athlete that can fit into any offensive scheme, according to incoming Titans head coach Brian Callahan, who made this suggestion in January on 102.5 The Game. That works for us if he’s willing to return the item. I will never turn away talented athletes. Nothing would indicate that I wouldn’t want Derrick.
Other indications, however, point to the great running back leaving Tennessee.
The AFC South team does not intend to apply the franchise tag to him, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday. Furthermore, when Henry spoke to the audience during the Titans’ season finale in January, it sounded as though he was bidding farewell to Titans supporters.
Henry will go down as one of the greatest players in team history, even if he signs elsewhere this offseason.
The four-time Pro Bowler, who was selected in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, has spent his entire playing career with the Titans. He twice led the league in rushing touchdowns and running yards. With 2,207 yards and 17 touchdowns on the run in 2020, he was named the Offensive Player of the Year.
In 2023, the 30-year-old still rushed for 1,167 yards with 12 touchdowns, despite having lost some of his explosiveness.
Even if a comeback would still be unexpected, the general manager is keeping the possibility open for now in the offseason.
