Report: Titans Franchise Tag Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry, the NFL's leading rusher, was franchise tagged on Monday according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The former Heisman Trophy winner will make about $10.2 million in 2020 under this deal. Teams have until noon EST to name their single franchise tag.

Henry reportedly joins Bengals wide receiver AJ Green, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, Buccaneers linebacker Shaq Barrett and several others as deadline day franchise tags.

The Pro Bowl running back rushed for a league-leading 1,540 yards on a league-leading 303 attempts. The 26-year-old also led the league with 16 touchdowns.

Henry will re-join quarterback Ryan Tannehill, a tandem that led Tennessee to the AFC Championship Game last season.
