Philadelphia Eagles: 5 RB options that are better than Jordan Howard
Derrick Henry, Titans. 1. player. 35. . .
It’s hard to imagine a scenario where Jon Robinson, Mike Vrabel, and the Tennessee Titans organization allow Derrick Henry to get out of the door, but it isn’t impossible either. Those of you who are thinking that the idea of Henry ending up in an Eagles jersey is asinine should take a moment and think about something.
Regardless of whether you’re angry with him or not, there aren’t too many general managers outside of Howie Roseman that could steal Henry away from the Titans.
Prior to 2017, Philly needed wide receivers, and they had about 15 dollars in cap space. Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith were both available. Eagles fans would have been happy with one or the other, and good old Howie was able to land both of them. It’s still difficult to determine how he got it done.
No one juggles cap space or has less respect for draft picks than Howie Roseman. In the Eagles fan base, there’s a ‘HowieSZN’ hashtag that floats around social media from time to time, and it isn’t for no reason. Sure Henry landing in Philly is a longshot, but he gives them something that they haven’t had since LeGarrette Blount, a sledgehammer (no Josh Adams doesn’t count.

The Titans have a lot of decisions to make this offseason. On the surface, it seems like re-signing Henry is a slam dunk, but the truth is none of us really know what they’re going to do. He heads into free agency boasting the title of being the NFL’s rushing champion, but there’s one question to ponder.
How long can he keep up what he’s doing while laying the NFL’s most punishing position? Is anyone else thinking about Adrian Peterson or Eddie George? It’s kind of hard not to.
