RenegadeTK Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Chris Henry suspended for 4 games by NFL NEW YORK -- Wide receiver Chris Henry was suspended by the NFL on Thursday for four games but may play the final 12 games of the regular season for any team that signs him. Henry was released by Cincinnati in April after his fifth arrest. Commissioner Roger Goodell had suspended Henry indefinitely following his latest arrest. The charges against him on that arrest were subsequently dropped. The 25-year-old player, one of a number of Bengals in trouble with the law the past few seasons, then applied for reinstatement. Henry may participate in training camp and exhibition games if he is signed. He will be eligible for reinstatement following the fourth game of the season. Henry was suspended for the first eight games of the 2007 season under the league's personal conduct policy. He returned to catch 21 passes for 343 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. But the Bengals released him after he was accused of punching a University of Cincinnati student and breaking his car window with a beer bottle. A jury failed to reach a verdict on an assault charge, resulting in a mistrial. Prosecutors dropped the case following unfavorable rulings by a judge before the retrial was to start Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press What team is going to roll the dice and give Chris Henry a shot? I think everyone can agree that the kid has talent, but is it worth the risk. No matter who picks him up, he will be suspended for 4 games. Personally, I believe the obvious destination is Dallas. They have no problem with players with a troubled past and pending NFL punishments. On top of that, the few critics they do have say they should have made moves in the draft/FA to acquire WR depth. I also wonder if Philly would be interested, though i dont know the up-to-date status of their WR depth in camp. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoskins Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I would think Dallas also, seems like a "good" fit for them and the type of outfit they like to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFromYellowstone Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The kid has loads of talent, but he can't stay out of trouble. I hope Dallas doesn't sign him, it would hurt us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA Cowboy fan Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 As a Boys fan it would not surprise me if JJ signs him up.....Many of the Boys fans dont seem to want him right now but just like when Tank and Pacman was signed allot of the fans were a little uneasy about those signings but have warmed up to the idea now that they are on the team and "most" Cowboy fans back both players now. He could be a cheap insurance policy for the Boys and JJ would have until week 5 of the season to see if Henry can get his head straight, he does have some raw talent and could be a good receiver if he can grow up....if not JJ could just send him on his way.....Until Henry signs on with another team I would have to think JJ is at least thinking about the possibilities of bring him in for a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellsMyHero28 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The Cowboys need another WR and don't have a problem signing guys with a checkered past. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheREALJBird Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Dallas will get him, then him and Pacman will go roaming the streets of Dallas and knock off an ice cream shop. Except this time when they get arrested they'll both be wearing their old WVU jerseys instead of that time when Henry was rockin his Bengals one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
