Derrick Henry says Titans didn’t try to re-sign him

Running back Derrick Henry recently confirmed that the Tennessee Titans made no effort to keep him following the conclusion of the 2023 season. Henry acknowledged that while the departure felt bittersweet, he recognized that good things do not last forever and ultimately transitioned to the Baltimore Ravens.

The veteran runner is now set to face his former franchise in an upcoming matchup.

Analysts noted that under different circumstances—such as if Mike Vrabel had remained head coach alongside front office figures like Ran Carthon and Amy Adams Strunk—an attempt might have been made to bring him back. Instead, Henry pursued a championship opportunity with a consistent postseason contender.

Observers point out that this move has strengthened his eventual Hall of Fame credentials and positioned him with an outside possibility of challenging Emmitt Smith's career rushing record.
