And about 700 thus far in this pro career. Since he became the starter last season he has had 421 carries for 2050 yards and a 4.9 average in 27 games....averaging less than 15 carries per game. Hardly over use.
Knowing our luck... it will be Chris Johnson 2.0.
Gets his contract, then promptly sucks.
But he's a fantastic mid-late season RB.

Wake, Walker and Humphries can be cut for about $22mil in space. I'd be ok with that. Walker would be the only one I'd be on the fence about.. but he's not getting any younger and that ankle injury is still bothering him so I could see him being cut.
$18,550,000 if I did the quick math right. That's higher than I expected, and helps for sure. Can't see any of those guys being back. I know JR loves him some ex pats, but he must see Lewis doesn't offer much.
Not having to draft a QB or RB early also really lets JR load up for a run for a few years. I feel like that's the best shot at a championship, if everyone continues playing as they are of course.
If we were back in RB poverty and Henry were on any other team about to become a free agent, there would be a whole bunch of that “Wish we would sign him but we won’t because lolcheaptitans”.
I really hope he doesn’t ask for something crazy like being the highest paid, but I also hope we don’t let him walk just to keep Dion Lewis around on the cheap.

14,750,000 + 6,700,000 isn't 18.55m. lol 21.45m or "around 22" as I said.
Looked at the top 20 rushers in the league at this point. Only 4 are over 25 and older than Henry - Carlos Hyde, Mark Ingram, Adrian Peterson, Leveon Bell.
Looked at last season, and only 3 of the top 20 were over 25. Peterson, Lamar Miller, David Johnson.

I must have misread your post originally. You're talking about cutting Humphries and not Lewis? Sorry but that seems stupid. My number was if they cut wake, Walker and Lewis. I think Humphries can be successful here now that we have a real QB, and Art has gotten slightly better at play calling.
Oh Lewis should be gone too.
Humphries has never impressed me... I don't know why everyone is so high on him. I'd rather the 7 mil in cap space be used to keep other players around.
Does every person on this team have to impress you before you consider them worth holding onto?
Lol. No.. just saying IN MY OPINION the 7m Humphries cost is better used elsewhere.
I think they need to just start using him more than 10% of the time
If we dumped every player than this forum has suggested we dump, we'd have like 6 players and 47 new street free agents.
Absolutely nobody is suggesting we "dump" Henry. People are just saying there is a price point at which it would be foolish to keep him.
I get your point but average his touches over his college and pro career and i bet his is lower than most
Someone is suggesting we eat dead money to cut our reception leader. And have recently suggested we cut Casey, Lewan, Malcolm Butler, etc.
Apparently overthecap had the numbers wrong or something. Just looked again and it had 7.5m dead money and 2.5m cap savings...it was the opposite on the screenshot I posted.
I was surprised to see Humphries was leading the Titans in receptions...it doesn't feel like he should be while watching the games. That's why I suggested saving 7.5 mil by cutting him.
SOQFG sucks....cut him now
His useage rates are very close to what they were with the Bucs last year. They just threw a ton.
