Titans use franchise tag on Henry

The Tennessee Titans placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on running back Derrick Henry, the team announced Monday.

The move comes a day after the Titans freed up the use of the tag by signing quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who was also set to reach free agency, to a four-year extension.

The Titans now have their two biggest offensive pieces under contract for the 2020 campaign.

The tag is expected to pay Henry around $10.2 million for the season, according to Spotrac.

The four-year pro led the NFL in rushing with 1,540 yards as well as rushing touchdowns with 16 in 2019. He added another 446 yards and two touchdowns in the Titans' postseason run to the AFC Championship Game.
