Henry had a fantastic 2022 season with the Tennessee Titans. He finished second in the NFL with 1538 rushing yards. He is also arguably one of the best running back in the game since his rookie period. But the Titans might be feeling like maybe Henry will not fit the regime of the new manager who has taken charge.

Apart from this, Derrick Henry is also almost 30 years now. Therefore, his age might also be a plausible reason for taking this into consideration.
A possible new beginning for Henry in the NFL
If the Titans are successful in trading Derrick Henry, we might see a new beginning for the 29-year-old RB. Teams like Buffalo Bills and Atlanta Falcons might be the next probable destination for Henry. The trade will also mean that the team will be able to clear $6.26 million in cap space. But it might still be difficult to trade him, considering his age, as running backs tend to decline in terms of physical capabilities after a certain point in life.
