The Facts: According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Chargers have franchise tagged Henry, keeping a key playmaker in the fold for another year.

Diehards Line: Henry will now earn about $11 million, a reasonable price for a player coming off his most productive season overall. He caught 55 passes for 652 yards and five touchdowns, missing four games because of injury. In three seasons — he sat out all but one game in 2018 because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament — Henry has scored 17 touchdowns. Keeping their top tight end is a priority as the Chargers transition away from Philip Rivers, their starting quarterback for all 235 games the franchise has played since 2006. Whoever is throwing the ball for the Chargers in 2020, one of his targets should be Henry, regardless of how the team goes about retaining him.
