Tennessee Titans legend Eddie George is adamant that current franchise star Derrick Henry gets paid what he's due.

Earlier this April, Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey agreed to a four-year, $64 million deal that made him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. George believes a similar fate is in Henry's future with the Titans.

“But Derrick is the heart and soul of the Titans. They don’t make that playoff run without him. He led them to the brink of a Super Bowl berth. When you look at what Christian did from a running back perspective, productivity-wise, that was outstanding. But when it equates to wins and a team, it’s not comparable,” Eddie George said per John Glennon of The Athletic.  So where do you value that? At what point do you value the running back and say, ‘Man, Derrick is not just a running back — he is the heart and soul of the team and needs to be compensated as such’?”

While Henry undoubtedly had a terrific 2019 season that saw him record 303 carries for 1,540 yards and 16 touchdowns, McCaffrey's impact in the game is different.

For starters, McCaffrey is still only 23 years old (three years younger than Henry) and is one of the best pass-catching running backs in the history of the NFL. McCaffrey and New Orleans Saints wideout Michael Thomas are the only two players in league history to record 300 or more receptions in their first season.

Moreover, last season, the Panthers star became just the third player in league history to record at least 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in the same campaign.

“I could see a deal similar or a little more than Christian McCaffrey, making Derrick the highest-paid running back in the league,” the Titans legend said. “And create a deal where it’s a win-win for both sides. Maybe it’s not long in years; maybe it’s a four-year deal. You look at it after Year 3, and if he’s still producing, great.”

Regardless, after a dominant season and subsequent playoff run, Derrick Henry is in line for a monster contract. Whether or not the deal is larger than McCaffrey's is yet to be seen.
