The NFL’s free agency period will kick off next month, which will mean that Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry will be out of a contract.

Henry played the 2023 season on the final year of the four-year, $50 million deal that he signed off on ahead of the 2020 campaign.

There was much talk that the Titans would part ways with Henry ahead of this past season’s NFL trade deadline. While Henry was linked with teams such as the Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee ultimately decided not to ship off the veteran running back.

In the unpredictable world of the NFL, Henry could soon take his talents to Baltimore.

At the moment, the Ravens boast the best odds (+200) to sign Henry in free agency, according to DraftKings.

Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell are currently the lone running backs on Baltimore's roster who are under contract with the team for the 2024 season. Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins, Dalvin Cook, and Melvin Gordon featured for Baltimore this past year, and they will all hit free agency in March.

The Philadelphia Eagles (+400) hold the second-best odds to bring in Henry, and they are followed by the Dallas Cowboys at +550, according to DraftKings. 

Henry did not have himself a standout season in his eighth year with the Titans, but he at the least orchestrated yet another productive campaign. The four-time Pro Bowler logged 1,167 rushing yards on a 4.2 yards per rush attempt average over 17 games played.
