Derrick Henry Could Put These Teams Over the Top

After a successful and dominant stint with the Tennessee Titans, Derrick Henry will now hit the NFL free agency market, where he is to be one of the most sought after running backs available.

Last season, Derrick Henry had a down year for his standard, tallying 1,167 rushing yards after posting 1,538 in the previous season.

His impressive tenure with the Titans can't be understated, establishing himself as one of the best running backs in the league and helping lead them to an AFC Championship game in 2020.

Although the star running back turned 30 this year and is likely approaching his twilight, many potential suitors would definitely want to acquire Derrick Henry's services.  

King Henry in Baltimore

The Baltimore Ravens finished the 2023 NFL season as the NFL's No.1 rushing team behind a wounded yet impressive running back core.. 

Despite their impressive year running the ball, several players on the roster suffered injuries. J.K. Dobbins' season ended very early with a torn Achilles and Keaton Mitchell had a promising start to his rookie season before it ended prematurely with a torn ACL. 

The Ravens were still able to ride it out behind Gus Edwards, who was solid for the most part. Edwards had 810 rushing yards and was accompanied by another MVP season from Lamar Jackson. 

Adding an aging yet productive Henry could not only give John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson another weapon on offense but also at least provide some more depth, giving them another heavy hitting option in their rushing game.

Derrick Henry Ring Chasing in Buffalo 

Derrick Henry could be looking to add a Super Bowl ring to an impressive list of accolades. The Bills could be an option to help him in his quest to win the big one.

Buffalo's running game did see some success last season, with James Cook having a monster season and Josh Allen leading the team with 15 rushing touchdowns.

Adding Henry to the mix gives Josh Allen another player to hand the ball off to in the backfield and gives the Bills another goal-line threat along with Josh Allen abilities.   

Derrick Henry Rushing Behind Dallas' Offensive Line

With Tony Pollard likely leaving via Free Agency, it opens up some space for the Cowboys to get a suitable replacement for the talented free agent. 

Tony Pollard became RB1 when the Cowboys released Ezekiel Elliot, who then joined the New England Patriots. 

Despite getting more touches on offense, Pollard needed more punch to help the Cowboys in their run game. He rushed for 1,005 yards and six touchdowns in the 2023 season.

Adding Henry and potentially keeping Pollard on discount should be at least a thought for Dallas.

Adding another dynamic threat to Dallas' running game without changing much of their offense could bode well for the Cowboys, keeping fresh legs always on call.
