H2o Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 https://sports.yahoo.com/report-titans-shopping-derrick-henry-162920605.html Quote Titans running back Derrick Henry could be on the way out in Tennessee. The Titans have been shopping Henry, according to Michael Silver of BallySports.com. Would anyone here want him, and what would you trade to get him if so? This is a tough one for me. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 He’s basically a one year rental at 16 million if I read correctly. Oliver and a 6th for Henry 🤷 3 1 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 How much would it cost us in a trade for him? A 3rd or 4th round pick??? I’d do it for that price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely throw a 4th out there for a guy with his pedigree, and is coming off of another 1,500 yd+ campaign. 5 minutes ago, HappyDays said: He may not expect it, but I wouldn't rule us out. This would open up more in the offense imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 A player who needs no speculation and who can seriously arouse higher team expectations in the short term. A rare case of a sensible player clamoring thread, not the innumerable ‘as I see it’ types posted ad nauseam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephilim17 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Not sure we have or can make $10.5 million base salary for a running back and still fill the other holes on the O-line, MLB, etc. If we had $30 million cap room now, sure. But we don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 this would be incredible! Henry on this offense gives us two huge, freakishly athletic men on offense to worry about. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Yeah, idc if he’s “just” a running back. If there’s any possible way to bring this beast in, you do it. Pass first offense or not, Henry immediately brings a gigantic threat of a running game. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Can you imagine short yardage.... Henry or Allen? Pick your poison! I just hope that IF this happens we pace the man so that he's fresh and ready for January football in Buffalo. Play him the minimum amount needed to win games in September, October and November.

HappyDays Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Personally I would rather just sign Jamaal Williams to play the same role for much cheaper. Use free agency money on OL and a WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Henry would be an exciting add, but I don't know that it makes sense. RB is the easiest position to acclimate too, so I would think if there was a hole that the Bills would be comfortable with youth from the draft at it would be RB. Someone suggested we trade Oliver, and I do think trading Oliver in general makes sense as I have a hard time seeing us pay up to keep him next year. But I don't think trading Oliver for a short term option at RB makes sense, I would think Beane would rather get draft assets that can infuse youth and longer term players into the roster. The other things to consider here are that Henry wasn't nearly as effective before Titans built up their OL into one of the best. And our OL needs a lot of work, so not sure Henry just walks in and plays at the same level here unless we can significantly improve the OL, which acquiring Henry might limit our ability to do so. Then you have the mileage and high use of him combined with his age. I think about guys like Shaun Alexander who just instantly fell off a cliff earlier than expected thanks to the power run style and high use rate. Would I be excited if Henry was a Bill...sure...do I think it would happen, doubtful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
