Titans RB Derrick Henry is signing a four-year, $50 million contract extension that includes $25.5 million guaranteed, source tells ESPN.
Only yesterday it was reported that the Titans were unlikely to extend Henry long-term, but things change quickly in the NFL and Tennessee obviously had a change of heart about locking up their workhorse running back. Henry will remain in Tennessee for the foreseeable future and projects as a high-volume, tackle-breaking machine for the Titans as they look to repeat last year's success. Whether or not paying up for Henry is a wise move for the Titans in real life, dyansty drafters should take note because it solidifies Henry's status as a a RB1 and reaffirms that he is one of the safest picks available in the middle of the first round for redraft.
