Derrick Henry, the Tennessee Titans running back, will enter free agency this offseason, leaving his future uncertain. With this approaching news, Henry delivered what appeared to be a farewell message to Titans supporters following the team’s 28-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the regular season finale on Sunday. The Titans then parted ways with coach Mike Vrabel on Tuesday, which surprised Henry and sparked speculation about Henry’s future move.
When questioned about Henry’s situation with the organization, Titans general manager Ran Carthon stated the team is open to bringing him back, and those discussions will include the incoming head coach.
“That will be the new head coach and I having a conversation,” Carthon told Jim Wyatt. “I had a great talk with Derrick on my way out yesterday. We had our chat, which I will leave between him and me, but the door is never closed.
Henry has spent all eight NFL seasons with the Titans. He has ran for a total of 9,502 yards and 90 touchdowns throughout that time.

NFL Insider Pulls The Curtain Back On The End Of Long-Time Head Coach’s Tenure In Tennessee
The Tennessee Titans surprised their supporters by parting ways with head coach Mike Vrabel this week, capping his six-season tenure.
Despite winning postseason spots in three of the four years preceding the current back-to-back losing seasons, Vrabel’s career was abruptly ended. According to NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic, who spoke on “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugots” Wednesday, the primary reason for Vrabel’s firing was poor communication.
“Why was Mike Vrabel fired? “Because of poor communication,” Russini explained.
Russini delved deeper into the subject, claiming that what initially led to Vrabel’s success later became a hindrance, resulting in his collapse.
“I think Mike Vrabel wore the Titans out,” she said. “The things that they love about him, the reasons why they’ve had so much success over the years, I believe are also the same reasons that got him fired.”
Despite the abrupt conclusion to his tenure with the Titans, the 48-year-old former NFL linebacker is unlikely to be unemployed for long. Russini stated that Vrabel is already attracting significant interest from teams across the league.
“There are teams out there that have a coach in place, they’ve already told everybody this is our guy—maybe some of these teams are still playing, maybe they’re not—who had conversations yesterday after Mike Vrabel was fired about moving on from their current head coach,” she said.
Vrabel leaves Tennessee with a 54-45 coaching record, reflecting both achievements and problems during his six seasons there.
