ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Tennessee Titans have reached agreement in principle on a trade to acquire Buffalo Bills RB Travis Henry and, barring unexpected complications, the deal will be announced Monday, July 18, ESPN.com has confirmed. Buffalo will receive a third-round choice in the 2006 draft. The paperwork for the trade, which is not contingent upon the Titans reaching a contract extension agreement with Henry, has already been forwarded to the league offices. "From what we've been told, Travis is headed to Tennessee," agent Hadley Engelhard said Saturday morning, July 16. "I don't know if Floyd (Reese, Titans general manager) will try to do an extension or not. We'll have to wait and see about that." The trade is also contingent on Henry passing a physical.

Travis Henry

Wrong forum, but Tennessee got by far the best end of the deal.

Buffalo drafted Henry in the second round of 2001 and goes to the Pro Bowl while with the Bills. Now they hand him off to the Titans for a 3rd rounder? Yeah Tom Donahoe is a genius.

:laughat: Bills

Well the Titans need all the help they can get, so it was a far trade from them. They now have a good rushing attack and good passing game. All they need now is a defense.

It looked like Henry was going to Jacksonville but Tennessee stepped up and got him.

Running back Travis Henry has agreed with to a multiyear contract extension with the Tennessee Titans after being obtained in a trade with Buffalo.
Henry will be introduced at a news conference on Wednesday. He was acquired Monday for a third-round draft pick.

Terms were not immediately available.

The Titans already had Chris Brown who rushed for 1,067 yards on 220 carries, and his 4.85-yard per carry average in his first season as a starter in 2004. But Brown missed five games because of injuries.

Henry, a starter since his rookie season, had consecutive 1,300-yard rushing seasons before being relegated to a backup role last October behind Willis McGahee.

Titans must have one of the most underrated backfields in the NFL.
