With the new siging of Lendale White is it a posibility to trade either T.Henry or C.Brown??...
Or would we have to wait and see how easily White grasps the offense before making that desicion??...

Running Backs
Now that we drafted LenDale White (great pick), what do you think will happen with the rest of the roster? White could very well become our starting RB. Thus either CB or TH will be shopped for trades. Who do we need to keep? What could help cap wise? I don’t see Payton or Nash making the roster this year. Quinton Ganther is more of a FB and could put a little pressure on Flemming who under achieved big time with his opportunity last year. How do you guys see our RB/FB situation shake out?

I think Brown is the only RB who has trade value. Henry is a huge risk for everyone (including the Titans). And I don't think they trade Brown as he is the best RB on the team right now.
I don't see trading Brown with Henry a toke away from a year's suspension. White won't even be able to run until mid-May but you'd think he'll get some situational carries early in the season and more based on his success.
Nash needs to show a lot, IMO, just to remain on the roster. Payton is likely gone.
I thought Ganther was a solid blocker but I'm reading mixed bios on him this morning. All do mention he had good hands which Fleming really lacked last year.

Exactly, if you wanna trade a RB, trade Brown, but he's our best running back so..........
LenDale is going to be our Eddie for some time and I would not be suprised if he is the starter by the season opener. If he can get over the hammy quickly and get in the weight room it is a possibility. I don't believe it will take him long to pick up the playbook either. I say trade brown and keep travis as a cheap backup. That still has talent.
I like Payton, but unfortunately he's probably gonna be pushed out unless he shows he can contribute to the team ina small way, how I don't know
Our backfield is suddenly VERY crowded. Someone is gonna have to go. I'd say Jarrett Payton is a goner. Damien Nash will have to have an amazing camp to stick around. If LenDale White stays healthy, I cant imagine us keeping both Chris and Travis.
Something to keep in mind... this is the last year of Chris Browns contract. So if they dont think he's the answer long term, you might as well trade him while he still has some value.

And Henry is playing for minimum wage. This puts some pressure on both of them, they have to step up and stay healthy.
It makes the most sense to trade Henry if they can get any value (aye, there's the rub). Brown is seemingly a better compliment to White than Henry.
I'd trade one of them, personally, but I don't know what kind of value we can get for either.

There is also the issue that we don't want to hand over anything to White. Make him get in tip top shape and earn the carries imo. Besides, Henry costs us nothing and we certainly can't give away our best running back because our rookie has potential.
true, but it is very very crowded in the backfield, something besides payton has to give
chris brown when he is healyth nd 100% cood be a veryy very good back.... i am in love with the titans nd there is one titan who i dont like nd it is travis henry.... he doesnt deserve to be a titan.... we shood either trade him or release him or do sumthing just to leave it with chris brown nd lendal splitting carries nd then u still got payton nd nash to be the back ups but u wont even need them.... i realli think that the combo or c Brown nd L White cood soon be the best runnig back duo in the leage nd it will happen.....love the titans draft choosings
I say we keep White (THUNDER) and Brown (LIGHTNING)
Think ABout it.

Henry is clearly the odd man out....his last name isn't a colour.

and the game summary

Barber carried the ball five times for two yards, and Dayne lost one yard on three carries. Collins was New York's leading rusher with 19 yards on three carries." - lol
man I miss having a D that would punch the other team in the mouth and make them quit
Henry's value..
Since we re-signed him to a smaller contract henry might be worth a 5th rd pick. Someone will take a chance on him to get a decent backup.
If we did that we need to sign brown to a longer term deal. His contract runs out this year. Brown is a nice change of pace to white and is good catching the ball out of the backfield. He could have a fine career here getting about 1/3 of the carries and being our third down back. I'm sure that is not what he wants though. He is going to want to start somewhere.
Brown's trade value is diminished a bit by the fact he only is signed for a year. Given he only counts $605,000 against the cap he is more valuable to us just to keep him on.
Pretty darned exciting. We have white motivated to show that he was worth a first rd pick and brownie motivated to get a nice contract next year. Then we have henry to boot. It would be nice to have steve back so he could enjoy a good running game for a change. We are going to sloberknock some people this year!
