Derrick Henry Contemplates Future as Titans Miss Playoffs

Star running back's contract nearing end, Titans have ample cap space for potential re-signing

Derrick Henry, the star running back for the Tennessee Titans, is contemplating his future with the team as his contract nears its end and the Titans are eliminated from playoff contention.
Henry, who was drafted by the Titans in 2016, has struggled in his eighth NFL season, averaging a career low 3.8 yards per carry for 884 yards on 230 rushing attempts.
The Titans are projected to have the most cap space in the NFL heading into the offseason and could bring back Henry, but that will likely depend on how his market elsewhere percolates.
Rookie Tyjae Spears has impressed in recent weeks and should be in line for more work in 2024, regardless of how Henry's situation shakes out.
With the Seahawks, Texans and Jaguars on tap for the final weeks of the regular season, Henry will be auditioning for his next NFL deal — wherever it may come from.
