Chris Henry Released (1 Viewer)

[5Rings]

The prison guards are going to be in trouble if they have to face a Vick/Henry led team.As for Henry, I figured this would happen sooner than later. I traded him last year 1 week after acquiring him. Chatman isn't that good, he's more a of a WR4/return guy type. Holt has good size, but terrible hands. I didn't watch many Bengals games last season but in the one's I saw Holt is a body catcher and dropped pretty much anything that came in hot.Question: What does this do to Palmer's value? We saw how he did with "only" 2 good WR's. I have to think losing Henry knocks Palmer below Ben, Brees and Romo if he wasn't already.That Utecht signing might be a little more important if the Bengals play less 3-wide now.

Another one to watch is Marcus Maxwell... Palmer s him.

He was the "next big thing" in 49er camp a few years back, too.

I dont think teams should be allowed to cut these guys, or reserve non-football list them.,

If they take them, they should live with them. This is too easy a solution for the Bengals IMO, and any other team that wants to "roll the dice" on character guys coming out of school or in the NFL.

I have posted to this message board before concerning my personal stance toward players who have been in trouble multiple times no longer being qualified for my roster, no matter how much talent they have or how 'rehabilitated' they now say they are. I finally made this decision after being burned multiple times by guys like Koren Robinson and Ricky Williams and the Whizzerator dude and, yes, our pal Chris Henry. This stance has already saved me several times from being burned since then in drafts. And, when I've received a trade offer that included Henry (several of them in various leagues since he started playing again mid-season last year), I wouldn't consider them. Lately, with all the Johnson trade or holdout rumors, Henry's perceived value has risen to some people and I'm sorry for those who have gone out and paid a good price for him. I'm sure lots of folks feel burned right now if they drafted him in 2007 in dynasty leagues or traded for him in the last few months, but PLEASE folks, everyone LEARN from this. These guys who are problems are just not worth the trouble. Black list all the Ricky Williams and Michael Vick and Chris Henry types permanently in your mind, not even including them on your draft boards at any 'value.' Let someone else have them, and take someone without the baggage. You're simply better off. I know I'm glad I made that decision.

you got Matt "underage, schmunderage" Leinart on that list?

Are you serious ?This line of thinking rewards the player for bad behavior, as well as keeping him on the payroll.The Bengal FO delivered the right message this morning.Dude had multiple chances, now he's out of the league.

Enough is enough...this guy doesnt deserve to be an NFL player ever again.

Shame, very talented individual...

No, and if you have been reading in the Leinart thread you'll know I'm pretty clear that my opinion about him having, God forbid, a drinking party at his own home on a weekend in the off season is a normal thing. There were some girls there, sure. FWIW, I don't own Leinart in any leagues, and I don't think he's very mature, but he's not the kind of risk I'm talking about.He's not being arrested multiple times out on the town, running around with guns, etc., and already suspended once, as with Henry.He's not having teammates die of gunshot wounds after incidents he (allegedly) started in a club in the wee hours, or being arrested for DUI, or tearing his arm up by putting it through a TV, all in a little over a year, as the case with Marshall.

I think he means the Bengals would have to keep him on the roster, (ie lose a roster spot), but essentially 'cut' him. He wouldn't be paid though.

He does have a point. How about this scenario: If the team has to keep the suspended player on their roster and his salary counts against their cap even though they are not paying him and he is not playing. It would make teams think twice about signing these types of players.

 

[fsufan]

Cowboys should sign him to complete the Pacman/Tank/Henry trifecta.

I am a Cowboys fan, If they sign Pacman and/or Henry I will not be a fan anymore

I have said this about my team and people call me a liar. I feel if the teams don't draw a line in the sand the fans have to. It just depends on what type of athletes you want to watch. I will not waste my time on Sundays watching the likes of Pacman or Henry. Football is not our only option.

The problem is, fans like the ones who come to this board during the offseason to talk football are in the small, small minority. The average fan is the guy who roots for a bunch of players who wear uniforms with their city's name on it and don't think much more deeply than that. They couldn't care less about teams taking moral stands, only about wins and losses.I live in the Bay Area, and it was disgusting how the average fan around here loved Barry Bonds because he hit home runs and helped the team win. Never mind that he was a scumbag toward fans and teammates, a cheater, had to have a whole section of to clubhouse designated for himself and his entourage, etc. Average joe blow fan only saw what he wanted to see.

If the rumors are true that those girls were underage, you cant seperate that act from the one Henry did that was partially responsible for one of his suspensions, can you?

 

[Mr. Peterson]

Just rejected a trade offer for him. Thought with Chad possibly sitting out this guy could be golden. Man, I wish I made the trade now. His value dropped big time.

As a Marshall owner in two leagues (and depending on him in both), I'm sweating some. Known enough people in my life that trouble seems to follow - and it's almost always self-inflicted to some degree (yea, the fight might not be your fault, but there's less of a chance of being involved in one if you had a quiet dinner at Ruby Tuesday's and went home to play X-Box than if you were at the bar at 2am.)

A few weeks ago sent I him and a 3rd for the 1.09. Woot!

He's being ranked in the top dozen or so dynasty WRs right now. None of my business, but I'd see if I could get Calvin Johnson for him, even if you had to kick in something due to the recent arm thing, and then never look back. You might take a hit for a year, but after that I think you'd be very happy you made the deal.

 

[KoolKat]

I cannot believe the luck I have had in trading Kevin Jones and Chris Henry a month ago.

 

[delusional]

Its amazing how many stupid ####s are giving so much money to play a game and can't even do that right.

Would have to think their agents families college would have taught....nevermind.

You can take the punk out of the hood, but...

 

[Black]

So under the regime of General Zod, will Henry even need to be tried and found guilty for a years suspension? Or is it simply enough for him to be taken into custody and Daddy can ground him?

Yeah, I heard it wasn't even him...again.

 

[Yenrub]

Somebody will probably give him another shot to play in the NFL

 

[Mark Wimer]

This moronic, imbecilic idiot has totally screwed up his life. He will end up on the streets, probably dead before he's 40. He could have made millions.

You can't put a price on street cred.

priceless post, got a spit take from me

I'll pick up any of these guys off waivers. I've done well picking up Ricky off waivers, then trading him away when there's good news. I've tried the same with David Boston and gotten nowhere, though.Still, to get Ahman Green and TJ Duckett (before I realized he's a turd) in exchange for a guy I got off of waivers is great.

The Cleveland Browns seem to be in the running for top NFL garbage collectors these days. They have probably already made contact.

I'll see your cap hit and raise it. I say the player sits & doesn't get paid. Then the team "donates" the player's salary to the shared revenue. See if these pricks still get signed for multi-millions then. They wouldn't even get the opportunity to be an icon 'till they've proven themselves. Although the rookie cap structure would have to be in place 1st though.

I could see a debate(not sure I agree but a good debate) if it were a first time issue. Since this seems like the "zillionth" time Henry has been in trouble, I don't feel that way.While I often root for some high character guy like Warrick Dunn or somesuch to take a youngster under his wing and "straighten him out", I'm just rooting. I don't feel it's the team's responsibility.

 

[Toads]

Don't count him out yet folks. Henry is going to get a lot of work at wide receiver when he's locked up in prison. He should be a much more experienced and relaxed receiver when he's finally released.

If I'm in prison, I'd rather be a tight end than a wide receiver.

Gotta be a classic!

This story only makes me think of the Chappelle shows :

Former Bengal Chris Henry spent an extra night in jail because no one was available to fit him with a court-ordered monitoring device to report his location while under house arrest.

Cincy justice at it's finest!
