NASHVILLE, TN — June 29, 2025
In a powerful and emotional media appearance that’s sending shockwaves through Titans Nation, former franchise superstar Derrick Henry has opened up about his time with the Tennessee Titans — and dropped a major hint about a potential return. While currently a free agent after spending the 2024 season elsewhere, the legendary running back declared that his story in Nashville “might not be over just yet.”
🔹 “I’m Not Done With Nashville”
Speaking at a youth football camp he hosted in Middle Tennessee, Henry was asked about his legacy with the Titans and his feelings about the city he once called home.
“Nashville will always be home. The Titans drafted me, believed in me, and I gave them everything I had. I still got love for the fans and the organization. And look — I’m not yet done with Nashville. Sometimes the story needs another chapter.”
This comment has ignited speculation of a potential reunion between Henry and the Titans — a team he carried for nearly a decade, becoming the face of the franchise and one of the most feared runners in NFL history.
🔹 GM Mike Borgonzi Weighs In
Titans General Manager Mike Borgonzi, in response to Henry’s remarks, didn’t shy away from acknowledging the impact of “The King.”
“Derrick Henry is a Titan forever — that’s without question. His legacy here is unmatched. If there’s ever a time when it makes sense, and he’s ready, those doors will always be open. He’s a true professional, and we’re keeping all options on the table.”
While Borgonzi didn’t confirm any ongoing negotiations, insiders believe there is mutual respect and interest, especially given the team’s desire to re-establish a dominant run game as they continue rebuilding under new head coach Brian Callahan.

🔹 What’s Next?
