Running back Derrick Henry made his fourth Pro Bowl appearance over the weekend, which could also be his last with the Tennessee Titans.

Derrick Henry's Future in Tennessee Remains Uncertain
Henry, who has been with the Titans since he was drafted in 2016, is set to become a free agent in March and has a decision to make.

Since the Titans hired Callahan on Jan. 24, Henry hasn't had the chance to speak with him, however, he's heard great things.

"If he is open to a return that fits for us, I’m never going to say no to good players," Callahan said during a recent appearance on 102.5 The Game. "I know that he’s been an incredible leader in this building as well, which also carries a lot of weight. You can find ways to use every player. There’s no offensive system that would say ‘I don’t like to have Derrick Henry here.'"
NFL Free Agency begins on March 11.
