Titans Working On Extension For RB Derrick Henry

On Thursday, Titans GM Jon Robinson told reporters that they’re currently in talks with franchise RB Derrick Henry regarding a contract extension. 

“He wants to get something done, we want to get something done, and we’re working toward that,” Henry said, per Erik Bacharach. “We’re anxious to keep the conversations going and talking through things.”

Henry signed his franchise tender worth $10.2 million fully guaranteed for the 2020 season back in April. The parties have until July 15 to negotiate a new contract. 

Henry, 26, is a former second-round pick of the Titans back in 2016. He finished the final year of his four-year, $5.407 million rookie contract and was set to be an unrestricted free agent.

In 2019, Henry appeared in 15 games for the Titans and rushed 303 times for 1,540 yards (5.1 YPC) and 16 touchdowns. He’s also added 18 receptions for 206 yards and two touchdowns.
