The extension agreed to by Henry follows the franchise tag Henry received in March, as well as the extension agreed to with QB Ryan Tannehill around the same time.
Henry, the league leader in rushing yards last season, was the driving force behind the Titans’ 2020 playoff push, reaching the AFC Championship game after upset victories over the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens. Tennessee’s run ended as Henry was kept in check at the hands of the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
