Titans’ Jon Robinson talks Ryan Tannehill, Tom Brady, Derrick Henry at NFL Combine

Tennessee Titans GM Jon Robinson touched on a number of topics at his NFL Combine presser.

On Derrick Henry

Henry is arguably at the top of the list of Titans priorities this offseason after he won the rushing title in 2019 and carried the team through the playoffs.

Interestingly enough, Robinson went a bit more in-depth when talking about Henry and the prospect of trying to “keep him around,” per Jim Wyatt of Titans Online.

“Derrick had a great year for us, I mean he led the league in rushing. He built off the second half of the 2018 season that he had. He cares about his teammates, he works hard, he’s great in the community and we’re going to work through that one and do everything we can to try and keep him around.”

Signing running backs to a long-term deal is always a risky proposition, and typically it doesn’t work out for teams who take the leap of faith.

However, after the dominant year Henry had, the Titans might have no choice but to sign him to a deal that keeps him in Nashville for years to come. The franchise and transition tags are also options.
