I'll have a hard time turning him down.

The Titans have had 5 or more backs in camp every year for as long as I can remember. I still think they could add one.
I still think they need a quality backup but there's a theory going around that they're waiting on Clowney and since he'll eat up a ton of $, they have to hold off on adding a few positions and maybe even skip.
One site had the Titans trying out that XFL back that played for Washington and he'd totally fit in perfectly but I haven't seen a single Titans reporter second that report.
They have several needs still and Edge is the major one. Second is a special return guy rather than just fill in types. This is usually a cheapie. I would certainly say that backup RB is up there. Many believe they sorely need a CB as Ryan was nails when Butler or Adoree were up N down. I agree. The Titans don't seem to though, everything is that they're comfy moving on. So suppose Clowney suddenly signs somewhere else, I'd expect a key free agent RB and some other Edge to be signed ASAP. If Clowney signs with Titans, then the XFL guy or some cheap backup that may be a camp body.

Was there any question?
Has to be the safest RB of the draft. I don't think it's likely he goes back to his old ways of being under used. Barring injury, he seems a lock for a top 10RB with a potential ceiling of top 3 RB. That's what you want from your first round pick.
I don't at all disagree.
I think if there's a way it is because Vrabel/JRob ripped the heart out of the D and got too cute in free agency. Teams behind don't run as much. Henry is everything you want in a back as far as preparation, attitude, and work ethic. He probably works harder on his own than while with the team and amidst this COVID19 stuff, ya gotta feel good about a guy like that relative to his peers. After last year's easy camp for many, I assume Henry gets a pass during TC and has a fake injury- it's May and this is how Vrabel gives rest so...just a prediction

I tried to package him in deals to get guys like Tyreek Hill + a late rookie 1st rounder, but I never was able to work anything out. I think people still don't trust him.
You tried to get Tyreek plus some for Henry? If that’s the case, not too surprising you weren’t able to work something out.

that was my initial reaction as well. But he stated "package him in". I'm guessing its Henry and late first for Hill...still light though.
mcintyre1
Footballguy
Yeah, I should have detailed what the "packages" were I guess. Also it is a 16 team league, so the "late 1st" was really an early 2nd in most leagues. Basically the 2nd tier WR prospects from this draft.Rig24 said:
It was stuff like Henry + (AJ Brown or Terry McLaurin) for Hill + 1st + Ronald Jones.
Long story short, it really seemed like Henry wasn't getting much traction at all on any moves I tried. I had to package high upside young WRs with him to get any interest at all.
And the closest I came to getting a deal done actually had the 1st going the other way (I didn't make this move):
Henry + McLaurin + 1.11 for Hill + Conner

That checks out better. I have Henry and have looked to move him. I have interest but it is closer to his value prior to last season than the current value. I think you are right, not a lot of trust in his new value.
mcintyre1
Footballguy
Which, given that you and I are both interested cashing out on the "high" -- probably makes sense.

That's not the totality of what he said and a reminder that we hit this time of year where rotosnips can make you hmmm.
He said exactly what you wanted to hear if you're a Henry owner. I forget exact but it was a followup Q to already saying they'd ride him where he was asked if he'd reach the same # of carries as last year.
The Titans have seemed rehearsed in interviews thus far. I don't blame them with Covid and having that opportunity, I'm just saying....
Remember there's no news til there's some action so everything is just retread over n over

I am looking to sell Henry in Dynasty, but the value isn't right at this time. I bought him about week 13 last year along with Lockett for LBell and JJones. Looks like I will probably hold him unless the right deal comes along. I also have CMC and the 1.1 (probably will be Taylor ..standard scoring)

Jay Glazer just reported it's a done deal. 4 years.
Seems like this is said for every RB that gets paid
Henry is a beast but I'm surprised the Titans did this

Henry's a smart man. Every single soon-to-be FA back should be angling for a new deal yesterday.

Don't own him, but here is hoping him good health going forward. I don't know the details of the deal yet, but anyone who gives a massive deal to a RB is an idiot.

@deamon as a dyno owner, I consider it a small downgrade this year (removes ‘contract year’ motivation) but a larger upgrade long-term (less chance he loses all/most of his value in case of injury if they’re tied to him going forward). I’ve seen enough 27 year old FAs worth nothing coming off injury; ultimately I view the news as a significant positive.
I’m not sure about his numbers this year, but his dynasty value had been a bit in flux the last couple months over the uncertainty of his contract. Big time stabilizer there in my opinion.
