Derrick Henry will get paid.
It took some patience from the Tennessee Titans, but Henry and the organization agreed to a four-year extension on Wednesday. News first came from Jay Glazer of Fox NFL Sunday, as the franchise will do right by its most impactful player from the 2019 season.
Prior to the news, the former University of Alabama star and 2015 Heisman winner was set to pocket a little over $10.2 million on a franchise tag. The Titans offered Henry the tag on March 16 and he signed it on April 2.
