Last season, the Tennessee Titans indicated a shift in their direction, focusing on rebuilding around rookie quarterback Will Levis rather than relying on veterans like Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry to lead them to the Super Bowl.
As a result of these changes, Mike Vrabel has lost his job, Tannehill is still seeking a new team, and the Titans are fully committed to Levis while hiring Brian Callahan as their new head coach.
One player who could benefit from the changes in Tennessee is running back Derrick Henry, who joined the Baltimore Ravens in NFL free agency.
Henry joins a team that narrowly missed the Super Bowl, with Lamar Jackson winning NFL MVP for the second time, potentially opening a championship window for Baltimore.
Adding Henry to an already talented offensive lineup could be a game-changer for the Ravens, easing pressure off Jackson and providing another strong option in the running game.
Mina Kimes from ESPN predicts a significant bounce-back year for Henry in Baltimore in 2024, foreseeing a successful partnership with the Ravens via NFL on ESPN.
“Derrick Henry is going to have a career renaissance because of the situation he’s walking into. I think this combination is a match made in heaven.”

If Henry can maintain his health, motivation, and productivity in Baltimore, the Ravens may have secured the top free-agent signing of the offseason, potentially providing a significant boost to the team.
The veteran running back could be the missing piece to elevate the Ravens’ performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL playoffs.
