I saw where the Ravens had a deal in place with the Titans at the deadline, but Titans ownership vetoed it.
Makes me wonder if the Chiefs/Ravens game could have had a different outcome.

max speed last season 18th ( 2nd best of his carreer) dont lost speed
yards after contact 2nd, still extremely physical and hard to tackle.
breakaway( running from defenders) 6th
#2 in total yards despite he played all year long on 8 men boxes.
He didn't showed any signs of it...

As a Henry fan I'm excited for him to get away from the Titans and get on a team that actually seems interested in winning. I think he'll surprise people with a really good season now that he's not the sole option on offense.

I'm not talking about on field stuff. He's a beast when he plays. I just mean RB's are generally a time bomb around age 30, especially physical ones and eventually little nagging injuries start to happen due to the amount of punishment they take. He's played a ton between the the NFL and college.
It's a 1 year deal in reality for $9 mill. For that amount and term, take a shot. Without a legit pass catching threat the Titans O took a dip after they traded AJ Brown the past 2 seasons.

I'm just always skeptical at times as to why a team wants to move on. I hope it works though, I like the Ravens in the AFC.
Well, Henry's contract did expire. So to keep him in Ten they would need to franchise him. Guess they didn't want him back for the $12 mill (not sure the exact number of his tag), that they would have needed to offer him. New HC, so maybe that's why it's easier for them to move on from him.
With any new regime, expect some changes.

thats remember me when they bring in Mark Ingram in 2019.
its kind of low risk contract/ high reward
