ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) … The Buffalo Bills have traded
running back Travis Henry to the Tennessee Titans for
undisclosed 2006 draft picks, Bills President Tom Donahoe said
Monday.
Henry had been a starter since his 2001 rookie year and was
coming off consecutive 1,300-yard rushing seasons before being
relegated to a backup position in October after losing his job
to Willis McGahee.
Henry had threatened to sit out this year, the final year of
his contract, if he wasn't traded. He already missed three
mini-camp sessions this spring … including a mandatory
three-day camp last month.
Neither Henry nor his agent, Hadley Engelhard, were
immediately available for comment.

Here's another article on the trade. Key parts are below with link to the whole thing.

The problems were solved Monday when Bills president Tom Donahoe announced he traded Henry to the Tennessee Titans for a third-round pick in next year's draft.

"We're really glad that it's over," Donahoe said. "Tennessee gave us the best offer and gave us really what we were looking for."

Donahoe said the Titans had agreed to the deal in principle last Tuesday and that the NFL had approved the terms of the deal Friday.

Donahoe said the Jaguars' interest in Henry was inconsistent. He said the Jaguars backed out of the running on July 11. Donahoe said the Jaguars then renewed their interest the following day, but after the Bills had agreed to the deal in principle with Tennessee.

Donahoe said the Bills were adamant in getting at least a third-round pick.

"We felt we couldn't live with less than that pick, and if we didn't get that pick, we were prepared to go to training camp with him on the roster," Donahoe said. "Whether he showed up or not, that would be another issue."
