According to Jim Wyatt of Titans Online, the Titans used the non-exclusive franchise tag on Henry, which means he can negotiate with other teams. Tennessee would then have the right to match any offer, but a refusal to do so would net the team two first-round draft picks.

While this opens up the Titans to losing Henry should a team come over the top and make him a huge offer the team isn’t willing to match, the chances of that happening aren’t too likely considering said team would have to give up a pair of first-round picks to Tennessee.

Of course, the alternative would have been to give him an exclusive tag, which means Henry can’t negotiate with other teams.

Henry led the NFL in rushing in 2019 with 1,540 yards and then carried the Titans on his back all the way to the AFC Championship Game.
