..the Bengals are desparate.
Sort of what the rest of the NFL thought about us when we traded for Rainman in the off-season.
I am surprised we didn't pursue him somewhat. The rap sheet must have been really scary for JJ to not take a look see.

Ahh, I don't think so. We we're coming off a successful 13-3 season with everything moving in the right direction. How anyone looked at us as being desparate is a REACH. Players have come here with baggage and got themselves straight and played well on the field. How is that desparate? I don't think anyone looked at us that way...

If you disregard his off-the-field indiscretions, Henry is something special on the field. You'd break even on the intangible investment. He's a game changer on the field but he does things to keep him off...
We'll see about him though.

Source: Henry headed to Cincinnati to sign deal with Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals are close to reaching an agreement with free-agent receiver Chris Henry, a source told ESPN.com Monday night. Henry is en route from Charlotte, N.C., to Cincinnati to sign a contract with the team as early as Tuesday, the source said.
The Bengals refused comment on Henry when contacted by ESPN.com on Monday night.
"We don't comment on speculated player moves," Cincinnati team spokesman Jack Brennan said. "We only comment when something is done."
Henry, a former Bengal, was released by the team in April after his fifth arrest in three years, this one in connection with an incident said to have taken place March 31. But charges of assault and criminal damaging were later dropped, making him eligible to play in 2008.
Still, the NFL suspended Henry for the first four games of the season.
But the Bengals had shown interest in Henry since the charges were dropped. There was a feeling in Cincinnati that the team might have overreacted in cutting its former third-round draft pick before the judicial system ran its course.
The Bengals have struggled in the past when Henry was not on the field.
Last season, the team was 2-6 while Henry served an eight-game suspension and 5-3 in the second half of the season with Henry in the lineup.
Henry has 88 career receptions for 1,370 yards and 17 touchdowns as Cincinnati's No. 3 receiver behind Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
Recently, Henry told ESPN.com he vows to stay out of precarious situations if given another chance.
"I'm just focusing on what I need to be doing off the field so I can keep doing what I do on the field," Henry said. "I just have to be smart and handle myself like a professional at all times. Off the field, if I'll handle situations like I'm supposed to, everything else will take care of itself."
Sunday's shoulder injury to Pro Bowl receiver Johnson, in addition to a recent hamstring injury to Houshmandzadeh and a toe injury for rookie Andre Caldwell, might have prompted the urgency to sign Henry this week. Although Henry will not be eligible to play until October, the team needs more capable bodies in practice and for the rest of the preseason.

No wonder Chad Johnson is crazy. That entire franchise is nuts.

Wow, that's a little shocking.
Although I guess it shouldn't be.
With 85 getting dinged up last night, and Housh being dinged up, they were in pretty dire straits at WR. And as a team with a craptastic defense, if they don't have good WRs to pair with Carson then they're in some serious trouble.
Henry is a knucklehead, but the guy can produce.

Maybe Chris Henry can now buy back his foreclosed house in Cincinnati.
