However, Henry made it clear that he's not even thinking about retirement heading into his 11th NFL season. 

"I don't try to enter another season thinking about retiring and have that on my mind. That's not even my mindset. My mindset is how can I get better, so we can be the best team we can be. I haven't thought about retirement at all," Henry said. 

"I love the game and once I feel like that love is gone, then I'll hang it up," Henry said. "But I'm just focused on getting better."
