NFL Trade Rumors: Derrick Henry Isn't Being Shopped by Titans Entering Free Agency

The Tennessee Titans are not shopping running back Derrick Henry, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.

General manager Ran Carthon is expected to be "methodical" in his approach to team building in his first offseason with the Titans, per Jones.

The latest report comes after Michael Silver of Bally Sports listed Henry among players that were shopped during the scouting combine. Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins were also listed as potential trade pieces this offseason.

Trading Henry could make sense for the Titans if they plan to rebuild in 2023.

The 29-year-old has a $16.4 million cap hit next season—second-highest among running backs—but the team can save $6.3 million against the cap with a trade, per Spotrac. The team has already let go of veterans Taylor Lewan and Robert Woods to save cap space. After going 7-10 last year, the organization could look toward the future with a younger roster.

Dealing away Henry, who has led the NFL in rushing attempts in three of the past four years, would allow the Titans to get quality assets back before the running back loses his value.

On the other hand, the Titans were competitive while Ryan Tannehill was healthy and went 1-4 with Malik Willis and Joshua Dobbs under center. The starting quarterback should be back in 2023, giving the team a chance to contend in the wide-open AFC South.

Henry would be a big part of the team's success after totaling 1,538 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns last year.

The Titans might still listen to offers on the three-time Pro Bowler, but it seems they aren't looking to trade him at the moment.
