No thanks.
If traded, he would be a one-year rental for $11M to his new team.
The likelihood that he would be a positive ROI is pretty slim imo.
Sportrac says his 2023 cap hit is 16M.
No thanks. Draft another young stud in the 3rd or 4th, and sign a cheap vet backup.
Not too freaking many.But what running back realistically compares to Henry, who has posted 1500+ rushing yards in 3 of his last 4 seasons?
#1 in the following his top 10 career plays gave me Beastquake vibes...
Eric Dickerson was was the #1 RB in the league, he was traded to the Colts when he was 28 years old. He put up 1600+ and 1300+ yard seasons respectively after his trade. Henry is that type of talent. He is coming off a season where he put up 1500 yards. A season after he had a foot injury. This is a no brainer.

lol now we are giving up first round position for a 29 year old RB?I was thinking of a trade with the Titans moving up to # 5 pick and getting a second or third round pick.
Henry's cost is to much for us, if we could get him down to 8.5 million a year, it might be feesible. But, WOW what a thought !
So, they can just sign any player they want w/no consideration of the cap? Yeah, it kind of doesn't really work that way.It really is this simple. Transcendent talent shouldn't be passed over because of cap considerations, especially ones that are fairly mild compared to what other teams around the NFL deal with yearly. Plain and simple no brainer.
Not what I said, bud. I've gone into sufficient detail above.So, they can just sign any player they want w/no consideration of the cap? Yeah, it kind of doesn't really work that way.
I wish it did, but cap flat out IS a consideration. Especially when you have many holes to fill on the team AND you don't really have any cap space.
Ok. Wanting to trade for a player who has proven he's the best rb in the NFL (over a number of years) over someone has yet to even play a down in the NFL is "messed up". Bijan Robinson has proved diddly squat in the NFL.I think those that would want Henry at age 29 with his probable cap number over drafting Bijan Robinson at number 5 basically are messed up in the brain pan.
Replace "messed up" with another phrase for emphasis.
