There are currently 47 running backs set to hit the free agency market. That’s a lot of ball-carriers who will be looking for a home this offseason. Some of the 47 may not even get a contract. LeSean McCoy looked cooked for the Chiefs and was a healthy scratch. Adrian Peterson had a good year for someone his age, but that’s the key, someone his age. He has a ton of miles on his legs. Lamar Miller just missed the list but that’s because it feels like he’s never lived up to expectations and is injured a lot. So let’s get to the nine backs who made the list. The first running back is obvious.

Derrick Henry

Anyone who watched Henry run during the playoffs knows that he is best back hitting the market. He might not even hit the market. Even if the Titans franchise tag Ryan Tannehill, they can transition tag Derrick Henry thanks to a clause in the final year of the CBA. Henry had 1540 yards and 16 touchdowns in the regular season. He was the focal point of the Titans offense and the key to their effective play-action passing game. The only concern would be that the Titans ran him into the ground a la Dallas and DeMarco Murray.
