Derrick Henry did not rule out the Titans’ return, but there is a catch.
At first glance, Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans look to be going in opposite ways. After his legendary tenure with the franchise in which he became known as one of the league’s most elite running backs, Henry is now set to enter NFL free agency this upcoming offseason, and many pundits have speculated that the 30 year-old may opt to leave Tennessee behind in an attempt to find a team more suited to compete for a Super Bowl in the near future.
Henry recently spoke about his impending free agency and how the recent departure of Titans head coach Mike Vrabel may influence his decision making process.
“I’m not saying it’s closed,” Henry said of his prospective Titans return, according to Grant Gordon of nfl.com. “But I have a feeling they are going in a different direction.” I believe [Vrabel’s firing] has solidified that. And that’s okay. That happens. That is the nature of the business. We want something that lasts forever. Nothing works, particularly in this business. I will always be a Titan, even if I do not return. At the end of the day, my goal is to win the Super Bowl. I want to go wherever I have the best chance. I have no bad blood or any negative feelings if I don’t return. It’s exactly what was supposed to happen. The story has already been written; we are all just living it.”
