-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 [quote]NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Bengals are considering re-signing WR Chris Henry. Schefter cautioned that the Bengals could shy away again if early word causes the public to sound off on the possible signing. Coach Marvin Lewis had previously ruled out the possibility of signing Henry, so he may have recently come to the realization that team's other No. 3 options are inadequate. Henry is suspended for the first four games of the season.

-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I promise to do my part to pay his salary if brought back. I'll buy an authentic Henry jersey the moment he makes the active roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I am guessing other teams may beat the Bengals to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalnutt Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 ....Haven`t we all lived through enough with Henry. He is an IDIOTE and will never get it. He will screw up again. He is an embarrasement to the team he plays for and the city he represents. He is his own worst enemy. Let another team have some fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Tigers Johnson| Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Honestly..... What do we have to lose by signing him? 1. We have already eaten the pick for drafting him. 2. He will only command a minimum contract. 3. No matter what the Bengals do they can't lose the arrest image problem anyways. I think it is a no brainer to sign him and put him on the suspended list until his suspension is up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry is Goodell's whipping boy. If he signs with us he will be suspended at once, permanently. After all he got 4 games for being accused, while that RB for Buffalo got nothing for running someone over and fleeing the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harm, besides having to put trust in him, but by this point hopefully we wont have to rely on him as much with Utecht and hopefully a healthy CP23.

There's no 3rd WR like him in the league. Assuming ML and crew can get past whatever's transpired in the past, I'd take a shot. I just don't think the rooks will be ready to make an impact. I have next to zero confidence in Chatman, Holt is a 6th receiver, and I hope that Maxwell continues to develop, but he's not a playmaker like Henry is.

No matter what the Bengals do they can't lose the arrest image problem anyways.[/quote] Sad but true. I don't want any part of him, but I do think he played his best against the Steelers and Ravens and that would be nice to have again. I'd be stunned if no one between Chatman, Caldwell, Simpson, or Maxwell can secure the 3 spot by the time the season starts. I'd really like to just leave that part of the team's past behind though.

Squirrlnutz Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 (double post, I know) I'm not that concerned about the wrs after the first game. Gotta remember we didn't really see the kids work with Palmer and Chatman didn't play slot which is where he'll play in games. They'll find their rythym. Did you see Simpson on the acrobatic catch out of bounds? He came off the field and went right to Palmer and went over the play. Thats more encouraging than shagging "passes" from Jeff Rowe.

ccartman2 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think it's a good choice. Carry SImpson, caldwell, Henry, TJ, Chad, and one of the other ones, either maxwell, Holt or Chatman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry can be had cheap and if he messes up one more time his career is over. I'd take a chance on him because of his talent. Maybe just maybe he can turn his life and career around and become a great player and a decent person. He's got 2 kids to support so maybe he'll wise up for good. we'll see..[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 *Prays* He makes the offense better and a better offense gives us a better chance to win. Who doesn't want to win? Sign 15 up and tell Urrutia he needs to look for a new number. We could use Slim in Nati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, IMO barring injuries, Henry isn't needed anymore. Utecht and Perry more than make up his loss, not even counting what you'll get from the rest of the receiving corps (no matter how big or small it is).

Screw the "message"...unless it's "we want to win". Then I think everyone would agree. He can only help in that regard. Ben and CPerry are nice compliments...but they will be limited in what they can produce downfield. We have already seen what Chris can do downfield...and it's serious shit. I saw enough last night of what Chatman and the clueless rookies can do...and it wasn't a thimble's worth of what Chris can get done...and get done right now, which is what we need. Do it...do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
