What has people terrified is putting money into a position that the NFL doesn't seem to care about anymore which is RB. Yeah, they take a lot of punishment but it depends on the individual. Henry is a unique running back and been extremely durable since he's played this game.

As a team we currently have the pieces to make a good run for a few years so not locking these guys up would be foolish.

This is true. As I look back at Henry's injury history I'm warming to the idea of signing him to a big deal, I just hope it's not something crazy like 16M+ per. There is truth to the argument that RBs tend to decline after the big payday, and that they almost all decline around 29-30. Henry just turned 26 and has almost no injury history even though hes touched the ball 1480 times since 2013. I'm changing my tune a bit and would happily sign him to a 4 year 13-14M deal that gives the team an out after year 3.

Funny how people shower Henry with all these accolades because of his amazing success but then end it with "I'm not sure I'd give him top RB money".

I get the point you're trying to make. That said, how has paying an RB worked out for teams recently? Cowboys? Rams? Jets? Seeing a trend? Tying big bucks up to an RB doesn't guarantee success.

I do think theHenry situation is unique. The lack of touches early, paired with his unique size and strength, means he still has lots of tread on the tires. But that doesn't mean I can't be hesitant giving him $15M in a season where we'll also be handing out a $25-30M contract to Tannehill. Let's not forget what Tannehill and Conklin will be asking for.

I don't want to see any of these guys walk. But our widow is finally open, and JR needs to work with the cap to keep it open as long as possible.

I get the fear with the cap. I do. But you have to pay him. You just have to. We FINALLY have something going here. If they let Henry walk to save money, the fans will be furious.

Pay Henry and tanny. Draft an edge. Make a several year run. It's time to go all in.

Good signing bonus and backloaded contracts. Along with replacing older players in the draft should keep everything going fine. We obviously cant keep ryan, henry, conk and tanny. But if we cut old relatively dead weight we should be able to stay under the ever expandong cap.

Again, the example of the Cowboys and Zeke is fallible. The problem with Dallas isn't the RB, it's the staff not utilizing him properly.

Rams have all sorts of problems outside Gurley.

Ever expanding cap just means proportionally expanding salaries—it doesn’t really gain you anything.
 
If we do a franchise tag on Henry, being young still, it might push him to go elsewhere with his talents... and if he has another couple of years in the tank after, woops.

He may well hold out.

Hes been playing on a 2nd round rookie deal for 4 years now. Pay the man.
 
After tonight, I don't see how they could not resign him, and tell the fans they're serious about next year. He picked up where he left off last year, and carried it through with the NFL rushing title, and huge back to back playoff victories where he broke records.

Cut the dead weight and resign the key guys. OwnOpen the window baby!
 
This run we've been on a s because of our defense and Henry! He has score about 2 TDS per game and rushed for 100+ yards. Pay the man!
 
I think Henry is the best Titans RB of all time and that's saying something with Eddie and CJ as former Titans.

Henry has been on a historic tear, he could end up the GOAT in franchise history, not just the best RB.
 
 
Henry is the most consistent RB I've seen. He has been ballin' like this since HS. At this rate this Henry Appreciation thread will end up being 40 pages long.
