One day after it became evident that the Tennessee Titans were officially moving on from Derrick Henry, the Titans legend went on to sign with the Baltimore Ravens. This is not welcomed news for Titans fans who have grown to despise the Ravens despite the two not playing in the same division.
As much of a bummer as this is for Titans fans, it is a good signing for Baltimore. They're a team that likes to run the ball and Henry can do that better than anyone. It's still going to be a heartbreaking sight seeing Henry don those purple uniforms next season.
Titans fans react to Derrick Henry signing with Ravens
The fit for Henry makes perfect sense on every level. Lamar's presence will help him tremendously and Baltimore is a team that wants to run the ball with physicality and they're already good at it. He gets a chance to contend for a Super Bowl. Ideal situation for him. https://t.co/qIqoIcmzAQ

Again, as much of a bummer as this is for Titans fans, it's hard to deny that Baltimore is a great landing spot for Henry.

Henry's new teammate, Marlon Humphrey, was shocked by the news.
Another #Titans great headed to the Ravens

Most Titans fans today don’t remember when that was a real rivalry
It feels like this rivalry has been re-energized in recent years with the Titans having the pleasure of knocking the Ravens out of the playoffs in the 2019 season despite Baltimore holding onto the 1-seed.
40% of the #Titans Pro Bowl appearances by QBs, RBs and WRs since moving to Tennessee came from players who left the Titans and immediately went to play for the Ravens.

At the end of the day, Henry will always be remembered for what he did as a Titan.
