Those guys were ran into the ground, Henry just had his first 300 carry season this past year. I think he will age a little bit better due to not having the work load in the first three yearsN.F.L.: ROUNDUP -- TENNESSEE; George Signs Contract Extension
Signed a big contract in 2000. Never averaged 4.0 YPC again.
Johnson, Titans agree on four-year, $53.5M contract extension
Signed a big contract in 2011. Averaged 400 yards fewer in his three years here than his first three. Never had double-digit TDs again.
TBD.
Frankly, the Titans should learn from their past mistakes.

Also only 1.5 years of heavy use in his first 4.Derrick Henry is both Eddie and CJ combined. I like his chances to live up to the hype
That’s a lot of words to say we paid a guy as one of the highest paid at his position who was either 1) run into the ground, or 2) totally and 100% dependent on one player for his success.If memory serves me correctly, the mistake where EG was concerned wasn't signing him to the big contract, but was in fact letting go of Lorenzo Neal along with a change in offensive focus. LN went on to block for LaDainian Tomlinson. The year he signed with the Chargers (2003) LT went from 4.5 to 5.3 YPC. After LN left Tennessee, the Titans had Mike Green as their listed FB, a seventh round draft pick who spent a total of 2 years in the league. I also seem to recall that blocking duties were kind of by committee using TEs to block. The offense changed under Dinger, becoming more of an air attack.
Henry has been more productive each year he's been here. Until we see a drop-off, I don't think he should be compared to anyone. Last year he was one game from the Super Bowl after a 4-6 start. I think all of the returning players are going to come back focused knowing how close they got.

Was gona say your math was off but you didn't put non rushing yards.GTFOH with that garbage. How dare you sully Eddies good name!
2000 1509 rushing yards - 16 TDs
2001 939 rushing yards - 5 TDs
2002 1165 rushing yards - 14 TDs
2003 1031 rushing yards - 5 TDs
Dude averaged around 1400 scrimmage yards a season and 10 TDs on his second contract and you think the Titans should “learn from their mistake”?!
EDDIE! EDDIE! EDDIE!
GTFOH
Yeah. That’s great. Had nothing to do with Jeff Fisher’s blind loyalty and force feeding him the ball all year every year.GTFOH with that garbage. How dare you sully Eddies good name!

A 4 year 58 mil deal seems right for Henry....McCaffrey is consistent and a catching threat as wellPanthers extending Macaffrey. 4 years $64 Million or $16 mil./yr.
This is really interesting for the Henry negotiations.
Report: Christian McCaffrey, Panthers Agree to 4-Year, $64M Contract Extension
I agree with this stanceMcCaffrey averages 1,814 scrimmage yards per season.
Henry averages 1,102 scrimmage yards per season.
McCaffreys deal proves that Henry should be getting around $13.5 - $14 million a year. Henry's agents can't be happy about this McCaffrey deal.
