Right down to the wire, folks. Overall, it sounds like it’s a pretty good deal for Henry. He was slated to play on the franchise tag.
He also is taking home a bag of guaranteed money, which is why this deal was probably signed.

The Titans have done a nice job of keeping the team together from 2019 that made a run last season. Ryan Tannehill is locked up and now the star running back is too.
If you’re a fan of the Titans, you simply have to love what you’re seeing the team do.

We’ll see how Henry and company do in 2020, but things are certainly looking good.
