Buccaneers Rumors: 3 Titans players to target at trade deadline

3. Derrick Henry, RB

Finally, we come to the guy who has been linked to the Bucs often over the past couple of weeks and is the most obvious Bucs trade target out of all targets on the block around the NFL. Titans running back Derrick Henry is going to be dealt. He has to be. Tennessee isn't bringing him back after this season, and they already shopped him earlier in the 2023 offseason.

The Titans have Tyjae Spears locked and loaded as the next man up, and Spears looks explosive. He is more than capable of taking over the load. But, Henry isn't done just yet. The Titans simply aren't contending, so moving him makes a ton of sense.

The Bucs have been one of the NFL's worst rushing teams so far, and Rachaad White isn't getting it done, despite taking the healthy majority of snaps. Tampa Bay is second-to-last in rushing this season, averaging just 52 yards per game.

Getting Henry could really open the offense up, again, for guys like Evans and Godwin. Baker Mayfield would benefit greatly from a legitimate rushing threat. If the Bucs want to make a push for this division, which remains wide open, then Henry could be their top trade target in the coming days.
