Titans Open to Trading Stars Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins but Await Exceptional Offers

As Deadline Nears, Titans Set High Price for Stars Derrick Henry and DeAndre Hopkins, Despite Recent Reports Tennessee Is Not Actively Shopping the Players.

The Tennessee Titans are open to trading star running back Derrick Henry and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins if they receive 'exceptional' offers, despite not actively attempting to move either player.
Henry is in the final year of his contract with a $10.5 million base salary. His performance this season has been satisfactory, with 425 rushing yards and three touchdowns. However, the Titans are increasingly incorporating rookie Tyjae Spears into the game, indicating possible plans for Henry's exit.
Hopkins, although not exceptionally successful in his first six games with the Titans, remains the team's best pass catcher and is expected to have value in the upcoming season. He signed a two-year, $26 million contract in the off-season.
The Titans had previously signaled a potential team reshuffle by trading away a high-profile player, two-time Pro Bowl safety Kevin Byard. Reports suggest that most players, including Henry and Hopkins, could be traded for the right price.
Although Titans general manager Ran Carthon has received calls on a number of players, none will be moved unless the offered deal exceeds expectations. Furthermore, both the Dallas Cowboys and other NFL teams have shown less interest in acquiring Henry due to his age, expiry of his contract, and high costs.
