As another Eagles fan, I think you're nuts. I can't see him providing much of an upgrade over Curtis or Brown, and we just spent a high second for a slot guy.
I'm not saying that a dominant #1 type wouldn't be welcome, but this guy aint it, and we have plenty of solid #2s and #3s.

As another Eagles fan, I don't think Henry is worth it.

Kinda reminds me of the freddie mitchell pick a couple years ago.

Fred X is going to make a comeback this year right? Barring any locker room fist fights, he will be a good fit with Henry.Kinda reminds me of the freddie mitchell pick a couple years ago.
Even if he were, Avant/Baskett still make an above average #3/4. Henry would probably bump them down, but why would anyone bring in a headcase to be a #3, especially with a solid #3 already?Kinda reminds me of the freddie mitchell pick a couple years ago.

Why? You already had a guy in T.O that's less of an off-field problem and has twice the talent, and he couldn't exist. He nearly tore the team apart. Why on Earth would you want to bring in a TO-lite type of player who's even more of a jerk-off outside the hashmarks? Let him go to Oakland where he belongs.

How is DeSean Jackson looking? Besides small that is.

Excellent. He gets open against our 1st string DBs regularly.

When did he start practicing?
I am a Jets fan and I would not mind having Henry on my team...He is a trouble maker, but I never heard anything about him being a bad teammate. He also does not have the clout to divide a locker room, so if he becomes an issue, cut him and don't look back.

Henry would be of little use this year. He is going to have to sit-out the first 8 games, just like last year, if any team decides to pick him up.
I heard the Bengals were talking about bringing him back due to the lack of WR depth on their team.

He has had several days of practice. I think he only missed Monday and Tuesday.

Relax brother!"DeSean Jackson makes a great play after slipping, turning back toward the ball and making a great grab."
"On the next play, DeSean Jackson blows right by Quintin Demps to make a great play."

Any of you guys been watching the training camp live that they show on philadelphiaeagles.com?
If so, is the stream a little glitchy for you too? I'm on a PC that's pretty short on RAM so I wasn't sure if it was me or the stream. The audio is perfect, but the picture will hang some.

It's always hit or miss for me also.

I didn't read anything in that article that said Jackson dropped passes, only Lewis and Brown. However, I did read where it said Jackson made some great plays and blew by the defenders.

There's not a team in the NFL that couldn't find a use for a WR of Henry's talent. I also agree that he's not been a problem in a locker room.
The question for him is whether he'll continue to be what amounts to a ghetto teenager off the field even as he dominates on the field.
I'm not sure the Eagles are the best team for him, though they've had a chronic need for top level talent at the WR spot throughout Reid's tenure, aside from the 1.5 years they had with TO. In truth, I'm not sure that I trust Henry to hold it together off the field for any length of time, regardless of destination.

This would be a good opportunity for the NFL to show players they won't put up with thuggery. All owners should ban together and black ball that SOB.
I heard yesterday that Goodell suspended Henry for the first 4 games of '08 for violating the leagues conduct policy. Henry is allowed to practice though, so he could land somewhere soon. I am on the fence as to whether the Eagles should bring him in. He most definately has the talent. Can't say his head is screwed on right though.

No way on Henry, he wouldn't be worth bringing onto the team unless he was a solid number one. Which he most certainly isn't. Although hes talented, he doesn't have what we need so it would be a waste of money.

I have the opposite view. No team is going to want to have to rely upon him as their WR1. He needs to go to a team that doesn't "need" him, but that can use him as an accessory, which is why I mentioned the Cowboys, for example.
i will disagree with anyone who says this guy isn't much of an improvement over our no. 3 and 4 guys.
i think he would instantly be the no. 1 WR on this team, talent-wise. reggie brown? come on. white lightning? no thanks. chris henry was being compared to TO on a talent level 2 years ago. if he stayed out of trouble he'd be a definite boost to the offense.

I'd love the Eagles to sign Henry. I know that they'll probably never do it, but like I posted in another thread, what do the Eagles really have to loose? Offer him an incentive laden deal with a very low signing bonus, and if he gets into trouble again just cut him. It's possible he might have learned something from getting cut, losing his house, having his car repo'd. The Eagles are also a little different than the Bengals - might also help a bit.
I like KC, but I think Henry would instantly be their #1 WR. I think Curtis would be an excellent complement, tho.
about the post that said that Henry is no better than Avant and Baskett.

about the post that said that Henry is no better than Avant and Baskett.As a Bengals fan, I've always thought that Chris Henry was probably the best WR on the team. Shame he couldn't get his act together off the field.
I went to the Bengals-Falcons preseason game last year and sat right behind the Bengals bench. I noticed that he really seemed to keep to himself and only talked sparingly to teammates and fans behind the bench. So, I don't see him as a locker room distraction, except for the fact that he's always suspended and not in the locker room.
Any team that gets him will benefit greatly, as long as they can keep him on the field.

The Eagles would be a good fit, and I'd love it as a McNabb owner, but I think they'd prefer not to add a guy with off-field issues if they can help it.
The team who Henry makes the most sense for is Tennessee, I think he would give them an explosive element that they don't have in the passing game(Chris Johnson not withstanding) plus they would be cornering the market on Chris Henry's.

Didn't know we had TATERs around these parts.

As a CHenry owner in 3 leagues 
, here is the list of teams I'd like to see him sign with:
Dallas
Philadelphia
Tennessee
Seattle
Miami
Baltimore - If Flacco does not start the season, there are worse things that could happen than these two working on their timing in the interim
Houston
Indianapolis - Just so Hoss's head explode.
Jacksonville
Denver
KC - on second thought, I don't think Herm Edwards and CHenry go together
NY Giants
Tampa
San Francisco
