Derrick Henry’s days with the Tennessee Titans could be numbered as his team prepares to undergo some kind of rebuild. Ahead of next week’s trade deadline, one team appears to have significant interest.
According to Titans insider Buck Reising, the All-Pro running back could be traded and the Baltimore Ravens as seen as the “most interested” team in acquiring him. Henry is in the final year of his four-year, $50 million contract and the Titans have made moves that suggest they’re going to be sellers rather than buyers.
The Ravens already have the No. 3 rushing attack in the NFL, but Derrick Henry has more rushing yards than any member of the team. He would be able to come in and serve as an upgrade at the position almost instantly.
As for compensation, the Ravens have no shortage of draft picks that they could offer the Titans for his services.
