Pure Speculation - Is Derrick Henry on the Move?

I guess my plan is that if you miss...you just pick up a proven RB in FA. Like I said, it's not like everyone isn't running at least a two back system. I am JUST not going to spend either the cash or the draft pick higher than a 2nd on a RB.

 

Yea RB's are plentiful in every draft. 1st round or UDFA, RB's can be found anywhere. Best to use top picks on positions like QB, LT, OLB, CB, and WR. Good players at those positions dont hit free agency and if one ever does he will cost you serious money.

 

I think there is a legitimate chance Henry is not part of the long term plans. His stock is high outside of the building though. I bet they could get a 3rd for him.

 

You people are nuts to assume we dont want Henry here. NUTS

 

I honestly feel he'll be a player who'll thrive, and greatly improve this coming year in the new scheme. Henry is big, but he's not a bruiser, more of a speed guy. But he rarely got an opportunity in space because the jumbo sets led to stacked boxes and often being hit in the backfield.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he doesn't have places in his game to be improved. But he now has what should be a legit coaching staff to help him, and a scheme for the modern day. Spread the defense out and give him space to run. I think he, along with most the offense is going to surprise some people.

Also would like to point out Gurley had a down year in 16 before exploding in 17 with McVay and Lefluer. Yes he had a solid rookie year, but LaFluer got a lot out of him last season.

 

I don't think Henry is going anywhere, but his Nashville home IS on the market.

 

I agree with this idea in theory. If you have a solid guy who's healthy, continues improving, then he deserves a second contract. By that time he'll be 28-29 and it's time to let him walk. Normally I'd be opposed to a guy like Lewis at 28, but he hasn't been used as much. And I'm sure that contract was front loaded so he can be cut in year 3 or 4 for dirt.

 

Seriously. People act as if we traded the house for Ricky Williams.

 

Probably outgrew that place and wants something nicer.
