Last month, it became public that Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans have yet to find “common ground” on a long-term contract.
Henry, who has signed to a one-year deal with the franchise, wants to stay with the team, but they haven’t agreed on a price and timeline on the contract.
Titans general manager Jon Robinson posted a video, via the Titans channel, to discuss various offseason topics with the team. One of them being the former Alabama Heisman-winning running back.
“We had a phone call last week, had a phone call the week before that, just kind of continuing to work through things,” said Robinson. “I think the conversations have been positive between me and the reps there. And again, just trying to find some common ground. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again that Derrick’s an important part of what we do. Just trying to find the spot where we all need to be, where we all want to be.”
There’s no word yet on what the contract’s specifics would be, but as Robinson said, they are not yet there.
Hope can still be seen beyond the horizon as the general manager stated he and Henry’s team have had positive conversations.
As Robinson admits, Henry is a crucial part to the Tennessee Titan’s recent success and identity, overall.
