NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero break down which big names -- including Derrick Henry and Montez Sweat -- could be traded ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.
For what, some measly Day 3 picks? 642 scrimmage yards and 3 touchdowns against some elite defenses to help develop and size up Levis isn’t nearly enough to fetch the return for a safety without even a pass deflection on the wrong side of 30 on a pricey contract and likely cap casualty.
Yeah, the Titans’ want to keep Henry, we’ll have to be tempted by a really good offer to let him walk (like a 2nd round pick). Otherwise we just get to keep someone who is still one of the best RBs in the league. Not going to just GIVE him away.
Less of a focus on the passing game. Instead of double covering Hopkins and Burks every single play, stacking the box becomes more prudent. Besides, the splits for Tannehill when Henry was on the field versus when he wasn’t are seriously jarring. How hard is this to understand?

What exactly do you think Henry running the ball is going to develop for Levis? “Oh, got to develop Levis’s handoff skills.”

Defenses will stack on Henry. It has the potential to open up the passing lanes for Levis.
Considering Purdy went in round 7, every draft pick is valuable
