Why the Tennessee Titans would make a trade.

Right now the Tennessee Titans have two running backs with the potential to play significant snaps. One of those is a rookie running back who started two years at App. State.

While I like Darrynton Evans a lot as a prospect, I think that he is going to take some time to develop to the NFL game and it would make more sense to go into the season very prepared at running back instead of trusting a rookie.

The other running back is obviously Derrick Henry who was one of the most overworked running backs in the NFL last year:

That is after a start to the season where Dion Lewis was getting entirely too many carries, so that number is probably lower than it was during the Titans 10-game stretch with Ryan Tannehill in the regular season.

Why not bolster that group with a running back like Mark Ingram who has proven that he can be a true 1A/1B type running back that carries the ball 200+ times if he needs to do that.
