Day 2 of NFL Free Agency: Titans Great Derrick Henry is Best Running Back Available
NASHVILLE — As NFL free agency enters Day 2, Tennessee Titans great Derrick Henry is the highest-ranked running back available.
The Baltimore Ravens reportedly contacted Henry on Monday and there allegedly is an offer in the neighborhood of $6.5 million per season. Henry made $12.5 million in his final year with the Titans.
The Ravens' interest in Henry dates to last season when it was reported that the team attempted to acquire him in a trade before the deadline. It's possible the interest has intensified since former Ravens running back Gus Edwards agreed to a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers.
On Monday, the Titans replaced Henry, signing former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard to a three-year deal for $24 million. Henry leaves the Titans after eight seasons with the second-most career rushing yards behind Eddie George.
Also on Day 1 of free agency, the Titans:
- signed center Lloyd Cushenberry and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie.
- said goodbye to center Aaron Brewer (Miami Dolphins), cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting (Arizona Cardinals), and defensive end Denico Autry and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (both Houston Texans).
