CaptainHook Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) Running back Travis Henry has agreed with to a multi-year contract extension with the Tennessee Titans after being obtained in a trade with Buffalo. Henry will be introduced at a news conference on July 20. He was acquired for a third-round draft pick. Terms were not immediately available. The Titans already had Chris Brown who rushed for 1,067 yards on 220 carries, and his 4.85-yard per carry average in his first season as a starter in 2004. But Brown missed five games because of injuries. Henry, a starter since his rookie season, had consecutive 1,300-yard rushing seasons before being relegated to a backup role last October behind Willis McGahee. "The combination of Chris Brown and Travis Henry puts us in elite company in terms of talented backfields," Titans general manager Floyd Reese said. "I don't know that it will matter who starts, because I envision both players making significant contributions throughout the season." Henry is the University of Tennessee's all-time leading rusher with 3,078 yards. link Edited July 20, 2005 by CaptainHook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoBeast Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 brown plays first half and henry in second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Cheezhead Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Chris Brown is playing for pennies, Henry is now playing for big bucks. For that reason, Brown is a great backup for an NFL team. If they're smart, they'll put Brown in a limited role so that he's not as attractive as a RFA. I envision Henry being the starter (20 carries per game). Unfortunately, he'll be playing for a learning offense with a questionable O-line, on a team that probably won't have many leads to protect.

Ruffian Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Well, there you have it. Another team goes RBBC. Ugh. Break out the cuffs. Brown will start the season, but it won't be long before he goes down and Henry finishes the year, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTen Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I do not understand Henry. He wants to be traded beacuse of WM but then signs a multi-year contact with Tenn who has CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampnuts Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Does this mean Chris Brown is going to be this year's Travis Henry?? I've gotta predict something now that my "next LT" argument is f*cked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
