Did Dallas Pay Henry Too Much Money... - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Chuck 54 · 03-17-2005

to possibly move him back to safety where he played originally when he had all those INT's? The kid can play CB, but what if we sign another CB or draft a quality CB? Or what if someone like Hunter or Frazier finally kicks it into gear in the coming year(s)?

Is Henry making too much money to possibly be playing FS if another CB is the top rated player on the board?

So many are now questioning his signing....sounds to me like he has great value even if he eventually is replaced at RCB. Thoughts?

Am I missing something? When was Henry moved to safety?

Vertigo_17 · 03-17-2005

He hasn't been moved, just a question about "if" he was moved

Muhast · 03-17-2005

when he played safety he had 10 interceptions one year.

I think we should wait at least one year and maybe 3 before answering that. They paid market value right now for a CB they desperately needed. They need another one but that need will likely have to be filled internally and/or the draft.

Did he play safety or nickel back his rookie year when he made those 10 int's? I know he wasn't a starting CB. I'm sure I read that, and he has the perfect size for FS, especially with coverage skills and tackling.

His numbers haven't been as good as a starting CB for whatever reason. Suppose Samari Rolle or Pacman were available when we were on the clock and we had them rated higher than anyone else on our board...you can never have too many CB's. Or suppose we signed Ty Law (won't happen, but suppose)...the question is "are we paying Henry too much to play FS?"

You must mean Antrel Rolle, who is no relation to Samari Rolle.

Henry played Nickel for the Browns his rookie season, not FS

i heard he played S in College, but he was CB all his years in NFL for i remembe, if you wanna do something like tha,you might as well do it with Hunter, he's not as good but really there are more options, we dont need a FS right now.

Why would we sign him for that kind of money only to move him to FS?

Henry is actually my favorite signing we have made thus far.

I'd love to see Henry moved to FS and Ty Law our other corner. As far as I'm concerned, if you have cap room, you ain't paying anyone too much.

Rolle and Johnson are the two players I'm the most comfortable with taking because they are the safest picks you could make.

Personally, I think it's time we draft some Miami players which we have ignored for a long time now.

Let's take Rolle

We need LBs, maybe a DE, ROT, WR , FS, and backupRB.

Unless they take Rolle and move to FS, I do not see it happening...I like Rolle but I am unsure we will draft him for our defense.

RoysAHitta · 03-17-2005

i would definitely think twice about passing on antrel rolle if hes there at #11. he would pryobably be the best player available, and the way our secondary has been playing.. it might be a smart pick.

let rolle and henry battle it out for the starting position, then move the other to free safet.
