Derrick Henry Signs $10.2M Franchise Tender With Titans

Apr 2, 2020 3:47 PM

Derrick Henry has signed his $10.2 million franchise tender with the Tennessee Titans.

Henry and the Titans remain committed to working on a long-term deal before the July 15 deadline.

"I met with Derrick like I met with all of the guys whose contracts were going to be up at the end of the season," Jon Robinson said. "We told him we would start working on that but [we] couldn't get to an agreement on that one, so we used one of the avenues that were available to us to keep Derrick.

"He's an important part of our football team. I've spoken to his representatives after we've used the tag. And we want to continue to have those discussions and back-and-forths in hopes of reaching some kind of long-term agreement. We will kick those conversations off again probably, certainly before training camp gets ramped up and going."

Henry averaged 5.1 yards per carry, leading all NFL running backs with at least 200 carries last season.

Jadeveon Clowney Drops Asking Price Below $20M Per Year

Apr 1, 2020 9:25 PM

Jadeveon Clowney has dropped his free agency asking price by at least $2 million after seeking $20 million per season initially. Clowney is now seeking closer to $17 million to $18 million per season.

The Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans remain interested in signing Clowney.

"There's a lot of business that has to be done throughout the course of the league year. We are working through a few guys at the end of free agency," Tennessee general manager Jon Robinson said. "I would say we are still working through it and looking at guys that are still available. I don't know that we are done, but I don't know that there will be a flurry of moves here. We have touched base with Clowney's representation, and we're kind of seeing and navigate where that one might be."

Clowney was traded from the Houston Texans to the Seahawks before the start of the 2019 season.
