A report surfaced Monday that the Tennessee Titans are shopping running back Derrick Henry in a trade. Whether or not that’s true, who knows. But they definitely should NOT try to trade him.
Here’s why: I don’t think he has much trade value.
Derrick Henry is an excellent NFL running back, but he’s 29 years old. He’s 123 touches away from 2,000 in his career, including 1,750 carries.
Only Mark Ingram and Zeke Elliott have more carries among active players. And both of those players are clearly on the backend of their careers.
Like it or not, so is Henry.

The league stripped the Greek Freak of his final rebound.
Giannis Antetokounmpo pulled off a last-second triple-double Sunday night during the Bucks’ win over the Wizards, but after a closer look, the NBA has rescinded his final rebound.
In the waning moments of Milwaukee’s 117-111 win at Washington, Antetokounmpo was dribbling out the clock when his teammates informed him he was one rebound shy of a triple-double. In order to notch his 10th board, Giannis tossed the ball off the backboard to himself.

He will remain a member of Jacksonville in 2023.
The Jaguars franchise tagged tight end Evan Engram, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday. Under the tag, which was anticipated around the league, Engram will earn $11.345 million in 2023. 
After spending his first five seasons with the Giants, Engram signed with the Jaguars last offseason and enjoyed the most productive season of his career, including a career-high in receptions (73) and receiving yards (766). His four receiving touchdowns were the most since his rookie season in 2017 when he scored six times.

If you need more signs the Jacksonville Jaguars are starting to look like a franchise that gets it and will be a factor in the AFC South for a while, you got more of those when receiver Calvin Ridley was reinstated by the NFL and the club used the franchise tag on tight end Evan Engram on Monday.
The Engram move was expected. But it speaks to the Jaguars finding a player discarded by another team (the Giants), signing him to a one-year deal, then developing him into one of the team’s primary offensive weapons worth keeping.

Eli Manning is a retired NFL quarterback and full-blown hockey dad. The 42-year-old former Giants signal-caller has three daughters, Ava, Lucy and Caroline.
The entire family are big hockey fans, but especially Lucy and Caroline. Thus, so is their father.

… even if he forgets their bucket on occasion! Who hasn’t?

First hockey practice of the year. Dad forgot the helmet, so she is going old school. Just joking, Mom is bringing it to her. pic.twitter.
