The Facts:
GM Tom Telesco acknowledged that Henry is a franchise tag possibility. Telesco added the goal remains to sign him to an extension with talks continuing.
Diehards Line:
The 25-year-old is coming off of a 2019 campaign in which he played 12 games, missing some time due to a tibial plateau fracture in his knee. During the time he was on the field, he was terrific, catching 55 passes for 652 yards and five touchdowns. He appeared in 15 contests during his rookie season, logging 36 catches for 478 yards and eight scores. The following year, Henry posted similar numbers, hauling in 45 receptions for 579 yards while reaching the end zone four times in 14 games. He then missed all of 2018 after suffering a torn ACL in training camp (it was not the same knee in which he sustained the tibial plateau fracture this past season). As Clutchpoints.com noted, while Henry is supremely talented, his checkered injury history may result in some teams being rather cautious about offering Henry a long-term contract, so it will certainly be interesting to see how the Chargers approach the situation.
