It’s sounding like Titans star running back Derrick Henry isn’t going anywhere this season.
According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter: “Any longshot chance of a potential Derrick Henry deal diminished even further at 4 pm ET today, when the deadline passed for him to restructure his contract ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. Henry has $5.5M left on his deal. ‘I don’t think it’s going to happen,’ a source said.”

Henry turns 30 in January and still seems to have some good years left in those legs. The former 2,000-yard rusher is top five in the league in rushing despite an inconsistent passing attack for much of the season.
