One day after reports surfaced that the Tennessee Titans and running back Derrick Henry wouldn't come to terms on a long-term agreement ahead of Wednesday's franchise tag deadline, the two parties reportedly crossed the finish line before 4 p.m. ET.

ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that Henry put pen to paper on a four-year deal that includes $25.5 million in guaranteed cash and that could be worth up to $50 million when all is said and done:

In one off-season, the Titans keep both Henry and Ryan Tannehill on long-term deals.

Henry is coming off the best season of his pro career. The 26-year-old won the rushing title with 1,540 yards, he tied for the league lead in rushing scores (16) and he averaged 5.1 yards per carry on 303 attempts.

Henry torched the Baltimore Ravens for 195 yards on the ground in Tennessee's 28-12 postseason win over Baltimore.
