NFL Free Agent RB Derrick Henry Could Be Headed Farther South

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is scheduled to become a free agent and hit the open marke t for the first time in his career on March 13 when the new league year begins.

There are several possible landing spots for Henry and he's been linked to several teams this offseason.

DraftKings is zeroing in on the Miami Dolphins as the favorite to land Henry in free agency at +1000. That's an improvement over the Dolphins' odds when they opened at +7500.

It could seem odd since Miami already boasts two outstanding young backs in Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. But Henry recently revealed that he wished the Dolphins had drafted him out of Alabama in the 2016 NFL Draft, it seems oddsmakers see that as a sign he wants to play there now.

"I wanted to go to Miami. I wanted to play for the Dolphins. That's where I wanted to go," Henry stated. "That's where I thought I was going. I thought possibly I was gonna go to the Panthers. I thought a slim chance I was gonna come to the Cowboys , but I probably figured they'd take Zeke [Elliott] when they did."

Henry hails from Jacksonville, Florida, and a move to Miami would put him back in his hometown state, but not his. hometown team, the Jaguars.
