After the 2023 season, several teams parted ways with their franchise RBs. Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry were two of the biggest names to hit the open market. New York passed on Barkley and he signed with a division rival in the Eagles. Henry left the Titans after nine seasons and signed with the Baltimore Ravens. 

The Giants and Titans regret letting their respective RBs go after the seasons they just had in 2024. Saquon Barkley had a career-best season across the board with Philadelphia. Additionally, Derrick Henry added to his legacy with a dominant first season in Baltimore. Both players rushed for at least 1,900 yards in 2024. It’s the first time in league history that two have rushed for 1,900+ in the same season. Running backs made a resurgence in 2024 and their value has seemingly risen.
