HUGE SETBACK: Niners qb has been suspended for 3-matches after it was discovered that…..

Before the 2024 NFL season, the San Francisco 49ers have crazy odds to get Derrick Henry.

The San Francisco 49ers, despite the recent setback of their Super Bowl 58 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, appear to remain strong contenders for the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the upcoming 2024 season, at least on paper. The offseason is deemed crucial for the Niners as they look to enhance their roster, and there’s a speculative possibility, reflected in betting odds, that running back Derrick Henry might join the 49ers.

According to DraftKings sportsbook, the San Francisco 49ers have been given long odds of +10000 for the scenario, “Derrick Henry – For Which Team Will Derrick Henry Take His First Snap in the 2024/25 NFL Regular Season?” These odds are the lengthiest among all teams, shared with the likes of the Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, and the New Orleans Saints.

Despite the speculation, the 49ers already boast running back Christian McCaffrey, reducing the urgency for a significant offseason move. Additionally, acquiring Derrick Henry could prove expensive, considering his market value of over $10.3 million for a one-year deal. The 49ers currently have limited cap space, with only $570,837 available for the 2024 season, as per Spotrac. Making room for Henry’s contract would require significant efforts to free up enough cap space.

In the 2023 season, Henry delivered an impressive performance, rushing for 1,167 yards and scoring 12 touchdowns on 280 carries for the Tennessee Titans. While Henry may be pursued by various NFL teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, the financial considerations and the presence of McCaffrey make the likelihood of Henry joining the 49ers a complex scenario.
