Bama in NFL: Titans franchise tag on Derrick Henry has risk for both parties

Derrick Henry cannot be happy with the Tennessee Titans ownership. The team decided on Monday to use a franchise tag on Henry, rather than negotiating a new multi-year contract.

Last season, Derrick Henry led the NFL in rushing yards and proved himself to be one of the top running backs in the league. Perhaps had the recent new contract with quarterback Ryan Tannehill not been so generous, the Titans could have allocated more money to a new deal for Derrick.

Alabama Crimson Tide fans will be disappointed for Derrick Henry. More than a few Tennessee Titans fans will be disappointed as well.
