NFL Free Agency Tracker: Potential Destinations for Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley & 3 Top RBs Available in the Market

The 2024 NFL season is still months away, but the upcoming free agency is upon us. And we will be exploring some of the best running backs in the game right now, that are set for free agent status. And the potential destinations these RBs could be heading towards!

RBs are one of the most important positions in football! They provide a reliable ground game, catch passes out of the backfield, and protect the quarterback from blitzes. But they also have a short shelf life. Hence, franchises look to capture the lighting in the bottle, with RBs on the younger side. And these soon-to-be free agents have all the boxes ticked.

Free Agency will not last long for these NFL RBs

Each of the 32 franchises of the NFL requires a solid RB. Whether in their starting position or to bolster the backup option. Hence, the free agency-bound RBs are sure to get a home for the upcoming season. And we predict the landing spots for these five:

Derrick Henry

One of the most accomplished RBs in the game. Derrick Henry spent eight years with the Tennessee Titans, but his contract is set to expire, and the 30-year-old is bound for a new franchise.

Two clear front-runners have emerged to sign Henry. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Baltimore Ravens, the latter tried hard to get Henry in a trade deal last season as well. Hence, it could be possible that we get to see Henry in the Ravens’ colors this upcoming season.

Saquon Barkley

Even though Barkley had a less stellar season compared to his 2022 season. The 27-year-old has been ferocious in all his duties. And the New York Giants showed faith in him by making the RB their franchise tag player last time.

However, it looks like that will not be the case this time around. The Giants are prepared to lose Barkley, and he has plenty of options to choose from. And the Cincinnati Bengals look like the favorites to land the former Giant.

Josh Jacobs

The 2X Pro Bowler renegotiated with the Las Vegas Raiders for a franchise tag last offseason. With the Raiders entering a soft restructuring this season, the 26-year-old could be unaffordable for them.

Josh Jacobs is one of the most sought-after RB free agents. As such, he’ll have his pick to choose from. And if there are some complications with the Henry deal, Jacobs could land a job at the Ravens.

Tony Pollard

Tony Pollard registered his career best in terms of rushing and second-best in rushing yards last season for the Dallas Cowboys. However, the poor team results and the changing of the guards at the coaching level could become a problem for the speedster.

The 27-year-old is firmly looking to stay at the Cowboys. Either through a contract extension or franchise tag. But if things don’t pan out, he has suitors at the Chicago Bears who want him dearly.

D’Andre Swift

D’Andre Swift posted the best numbers of his pro career last season. And even though the Philadelphia Eagles might be interested in re-signing Swift, the 25-year-old Pro Bowler is excited to explore free agency.
