Chris Henry Charges Dropped: Hammer... Lets Get it Started!

[WoodysGirl]

Wow.

I'm just stunned that some people think it's a good idea to bring this guy in.

I'm not.

I can only maintain my belief in his last statement on the issue

Apr. 10, 2008 - 9:33 a.m. ET

Owner Jerry Jones says the Cowboys are "unlikely" to pursue free agent Chris Henry.

With Jerry in a semi-stealth-panic mode over a #2 WR...


THIS DEAL is VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY possible.


I think sometimes people put their personal feelings into their comments... Jerry wont make his decision based on how we feel about it positively or negatively.


If he can be had on the cheap and he isnt suspended or is only suspended so many game(I dunno, could be 2-4-6 games) Jerry will sign him.

Jerry is not in any kind of Panic mode.

We were the #2 Offense out there with TO and Crayton. And Until Glenn is either cut or traded, he will sign the waiver before the season starts. So if he stays healthy, you just added your "speed" to the offense. Not to mention guys like Stanback, Hurd, and Austin, with another year in the system and another year of growth as WR's.

If Jerry is going to pull the trigger on a #2 WR, its going to be VIA trade for A Chad Johnson/Roy Williams/Anquain Boldin type WR. Chris Henry may be able to run real fast, but that is not enough to warrant a spot on our roster.

 

[dargonking999]

no kidding.

What about henry would make anyone root for him?

no one will give him an opportunity this year because everyone knows he is going to beat up another teenager before long or get drunk and get pulled over....

......I am now waiting for the I LOVE THE COWBOYS AND IF YOU DONT GO ROOT FOR THE GIANTS response that so many love to give when the majority of us are opposed to signing criminals.

I am waiting for the "I WILL QUIT THE COWBOYS IF THEY SIGN THIS CRIMINAL I HATE"

There is more than one side to that coin theebs.

no doubt about it.

Seems to be more on the other end though.

 

[Hostile]

Wow.

I used to be stunned. Now I just accept it that some people do not care about character.

I'm not worried. Jerry had him removed from the Draft Board in 2005 and he has had issues since then. I'd be shocked if there was any interest in him.

 

[dargonking999]

no doubt about it.

Seems to be more on the other end though.

Yea but i think in this case, it will flip. I just don't see too many people in favor of signing Henry

 

[bigE79]

"You know BlueStar, you suprise me...If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it's that Jerry will sign anyone."

He will make him an offer he cant refuse:laugh2:

 

[Yeagermeister]

He will make him an offer he cant refuse:laugh2:

Because Jerry is the only one that would consider signing him.....well maybe Al Davis also.

 

[VACowboy]

I don't see it happening. You can only push your luck so many times.

It irks me to see people lump TO in with these other guys. He's never had legal problems of any kind.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Its just that from a business pov, from a youth-talent pov

"I thought it would have been Al?....

"it the smart move.... Jerry was always smarter..... but I'm gonna wait... I've decided to wait on the suspension decision"

HENRY’S STATUS UNDER REVIEW
Posted by Mike Florio on July 14, 2008, 11:18 a.m.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tells us that the eligibility of receiver Chris Henry to re-join the league is “under review.”

Earlier on Monday, charges against Henry were dropped, just as a second trial on the matter was about to get started. Henry had been indefinitely suspended pending the outcome of the case.

Per WLWT-TV, the decision to dismiss the case came after the judge refused to exclude from the trial the following pieces of evidence: (1) charges against the alleged victim being reduced; (2) a request from the alleged victim’s lawyer for a settlement; and (3) testimony about the violent character of the alleged victim.

Henry had been accused of punching a University of Cincinnati student earlier in the year. The Bengals cut Henry in the wake of the arrest.

I am not training yet.

Situation that happened was out of my hands.

Gonna train in North Carolina.

Suspended - cant talk about Goodell.

Been in house for months - trying to move on.
Hope to be in Bengal uni? Yes.

Learned alot about everything. Have to handle myself as professional to get another shot in the league.

Wants fans to know that he is truly a good person and loves to play football. Everything is not as it seems.

Once all is behind him - no team is gonna have to worry about him DEFINITELY NOT. Stay away from bad people.

 

[Alexander]

We have spent an incredible amount of time and energy doing whatever possible to shield Adam Jones from bad influences and now we would add this individual? I hope we are not quite that ignorant.

 

[juck]

Juckie, if he is taken off suspension and signs here this year (I highly doubt it), and is gone next year I will still pay you the $10.00 we bet.

Very admirable.I appreciate it Hos.

 

[big dog cowboy]

If Chris Henry is available, maybe the price for Roy Williams just came down a little.

 

[apickmans]

noone in the country would be surprised if you guys picked Chris Henry up.

 

[juck]

Why wouldnt u take him?He effs up adios.U pay minimum for him,who cares?He is a reciever with great hands and speed.Henry and TO would be hard to stop.Is it a moral thing with u guys?Well he never did anything thats completely outlandish,served alcohol to 20 year olds?punched a dude?so what.He was probably raised in a ghetto like Pacman,what do u expect when u hand him millions?i expect a few bumps along the road here and there.If he was a joe schmoe peeps would look over it like a parking ticket.If its moral with u guys,then have fun with ur choir boys and lose in the first round again.Ill take a thug or 2 and win ,especially at minimium pay.
