Henry Anderson Fantasy Stats

Former Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, New England Patriots, and Carolina Panthers defensive lineman Henry Anderson announced his retirement on Tuesday. The 2015 third-round pick by the Colts out of Stanford appeared in 89 NFL games and compiled 188 tackles, 11.5 sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, eight pass deflections, and 20.5 run stuffs. Anderson last played for the Panthers in 2022, racking up 18 total tackles. He now heads into retirement at 33 years old after an eight-year professional career.

New England Patriots defensive end Henry Anderson has restructured his contract for the 2022 season. The 30-year-old decided to take a pay cut in order to remain with the organization. Anderson dropped his $2.5 million salary to the veteran minimum $1.5 million for next season. This isn't shocking news after Anderson was limited to four games with the Patriots in 2021. The hope is that Anderson will be fully healthy heading into next season. He certainly does have talent and recorded a seven-sack season in 2018. Hopefully he can have some success with the Patriots in 2022.

An MRI exam confirmed that New England Patriots defensive lineman Henry Anderson (pectoral) suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, according to sources. The Patriots will place Anderson on Injured Reserve at some point this week, likely on Tuesday. The 30-year-old was a special teams contributor and hadn't played more than 25 percent of the defensive snaps in a single game this year. Anderson will finish the 2021 season with just three solo tackles in four games. New England's defense will be a top-tier fantasy unit in Week 5 in a great matchup against the Houston Texans.

New England Patriots defensive end Henry Anderson (pectoral) is feared to have suffered a torn pectoral muscle in the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, according to a source. Anderson was quickly declared out after suffering the injury, and the Patriots are waiting for an MRI confirmation on Monday. If the 30-year-old pass-rusher indeed has a torn pec, he'd miss the rest of the 2021 season. In the first four weeks of the season, Anderson had three solo tackles. Chase Winovich will be needed to step up on the Patriots defensive line moving forward. The Patriots defense currently ranks 12th in overall fantasy points through four weeks with 10 sacks and five interceptions. They'll be an elite play in a Week 5 matchup with the struggling Houston Texans.

The New England Patriots agreed to terms with former New York Jets defensive lineman Henry Anderson on a two-year deal worth $7 million on Monday, according to a source. The contract has a maximum value of $11 million based on achievable playing-time incentives. The six-year veteran was the fourth defensive line signing on Monday, including Davon Godchaux, Deatrich Wise and Carl Davis. Anderson had a career-high seven sacks in 2018 but saw his production decline the last two seasons in New York after signing an extension. He's a good fit for New England's defensive scheme, where he will almost certainly be moved around the defensive line to create mismatches. The 29-year-old has the size and strength to be successful in the trenches.

The New York Jets released defensive lineman Henry Anderson on Tuesday. Anderson was due $8.2 million in 2021, and the Jets saved nearly that same amount by cutting him. Anderson, 29, started 24 games for Gang Green in the last three seasons. He carried a $9.5 million salary cap charge, with the remaining $1.3 million as a "dead" charge. New York now has more than $75 million in salary cap space as they head into free agency. Anderson played more snaps (942) than every Jets lineman except Quinnen Williams in 2019 and 2020. Traded over from the Colts during the 2018 draft, Anderson had a career-high seven sacks in the final year of his rookie contract. Since a three-year, $25.2 million deal, he produced just 1.5 sacks in the last 29 games. Anderson played in all 16 games last year, finishing with 42 total tackles.
