This morning the Tennessee Titans franchise tagged running back Derrick Henry.
Now before you get upset, you need to know that this was absolutely the right decision given the inferences we can make about the other options.
First of all, let’s talk about the actual tag. Per multiple reports it will be the franchise tag and not the transition tag, which means that the contract will be roughly $10.3 million all guaranteed in 2020.
Knowing that, I think we can assume that the Titans were offering him a contract that gave him less than that in year one though it probably had more guaranteed money across the board and would have kept him in the fold for multiple years.
