Hadn’t seen a post yet. There’s a lot of new stories out this morning about this possibility.
~~His agent apparently also tweeted about it.~~

Edit: Upon investigation the only thing I’m able to find regarding the alleged agent tweet was that the man who first tweeted about it (Akbar Gbajabiamila)

is represented by the same agency as Henry. So take it with a grain of salt (maybe)

Please no.
My heart would be crushed and I would be down tremendous. However if we could get a good deal in return I understand the move.
There were two threads of discussion that got bumped by mods. Assume this thread is similarly at risk.
With that said, unless there is something new, the tweet was from the Ninja Warrior host, who shares representation with Henry, not Henry’s agent.
I have not seen anything about his agent tweeting out
If we can get anything close to what Carolina got for CMC I say go for it. Especially if we can get Israel Abanikanda in a later round. Guy gives me CJ2K vibes
Just heard folks talking about it on my local fox sports radio station. Seems like this rumor is really picking up traction. Those other threads probably should not have been deleted. I’m nervous lol
This would really make me question my titans Fandom Philly is the worst
Since there is nothing else to do today, let’s pretend this is true… What type of draft picks are you looking for the titans to get in this trade?
This is my 100% pure speculation farm raised bullshit idea on this trade.
We trade Henry for their 30th overall pick. Then we turn around and trade #11 AND #30 to Houston/Arizona to move up and take a QB.
If this rumor indeed pans out this is the only acceptable scenario for me.
Pain
For Henry the move makes sense
For our backroom team, the move makes sense as we are rebuilding and he is our only bargaining chip
For the team, it makes 0 sense
For the fanbase, it would be a disaster
Well I guess we’re trying to get Philly into the Super Bowl. Trade AJ Brown one season and Derrick Henry the next
He’s so important to the team, Philly are never going to offer up what he’s actually worth to us. I’d be incredibly sad to see him go
Even if true –which I SERIOUSLY doubt–I don’t see this being really advantageous for us.
If this does happen I think it all but guarantees we are trading up in the draft, but Henry is worth so much more to this organization than just being a player.
Why there fuck Philly
he’s probably gone but it’s not the end of the world. we couldn’t keep playing like we have and win anything worth relevance anyways.
The Caleb tank fans get their wish. Only problem is our defense is strong and we probably aren’t gonna do shit.
Also the “Tannehill carries this team” fans get thjeir wish too
If we traded the King to cut costs what do y’all think we spend the savings on?
No way
I’ve felt the same way since the end of the season.
Trading Henry makes sense for the team, but man what even is our offense without Henry?
The current state of Twitter and verification has left me no choice but to put my phone away until August

Don’t you dare!
Trade Henry? Capitol to move up for QB I assume?Sign 4Net or Zeke as replacement? Hmmmm
Imma be real, if we trade Henry, I’m no longer a fan. A disaster for the team
