No, Tennessee Titans haven't been fielding Derrick Henry trade requests
No, the Tennessee Titans haven't fielded any calls to trade star running back Derrick Henry, general manager Ran Carthon said Monday.
Henry has been at the center of NFL trade rumors since February. The two-time NFL rushing champion only has one year remaining on his contract, but Carthon said he hasn't received calls about acquiring Henry, even as the 2023 NFL Draft looms later this week.
"There’s things I want to say that I won’t," Carthon said about the rumors. "It is what it is. It’s part of the job. I know people have their job to do, to speculate, to put things out and hope they stick and hope they’re right. But I’ll just lean on it this way because I’ve said it before. We won’t do business in public. We haven’t."
