But his time with the Titans may be over.
The Titans are shopping Henry for a potential trade, Bailey Sports reported Monday. Tennessee appeared to be preparing potential cuts to create cap room. Henry is owed $10.5 million and is not set to become an unrestricted free agent until the start of the 2024 season.
Tennessee won the AFC South in 2020 and 2021, while Henry battled an injury and played eight games in 2021.

Should Henry be eliminated, the potential new team is returning him with plenty of mileage. He has had 200 or more carries in five consecutive seasons and 300-plus in three of the past five seasons – leading the NFL in three of those years.
Since Tennessee selected Henry in the second round of the 2016 draft, Henry has recorded 8,335 rushing yards on 1,750 carries. He has 78 rushing touchdowns. He is the active leader in rushing yards, carries and rushing touchdowns.
