It looks like an AFC South team is hanging on to its marquee player.

Trade talk rumors heated up about the Tennessee Titans possibly moving Derrick Henry elsewhere, but the Titans have changed its tune on the running back. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Titans have informed Henry it’s not trading him.

Henry, 29, is one of the league’s most dominant backs. He is a three-time Pro Bowl selection, two-time NFL rushing champion, a first-team All-Pro selection, and the 2020 NFL Offensive Player of the Year.

Henry helped the Crimson Tide win a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2015.

He also was the program’s second Heisman Trophy winner.
