ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- The Detroit Lions cut quarterback Drew Henson, parting ways with the former Michigan quarterback and New York Yankees prospect.

The Lions made the move Wednesday. Detroit replaced Henson on the roster with Adam Jennings to bolster their special teams.

The Lions signed Henson a month ago to be their No. 3 quarterback, but Daunte Culpepper's signing made Henson expendable.

Henson skipped his senior season at Michigan to play baseball for the New York Yankees. After three seasons in the Yankees' organization he returned to football.

He threw one touchdown pass in seven games for the Dallas Cowboys in 2004. He had one hit in eight games the previous two years for the Yankees.

I guess this is the end of the line for Henson. I feel for him, but at least he got paid by the two America's Teams.

It's amazing how many millions of $ the guy has pocketed purely based on potential without it coming to fruition in either sport.

Isn't that the guy Jerry gave a 3rd round pick to the Texans? I'm sure there r Cowboy fans who think he can be our next backup QB!

Couldn't have done much worse than Brad Johnson. Then again, neither could my grandmother, and she's dead.

And to think Dallas actually thought he would work out... After signing two other former baseball players, what made Jerry Jones "the village idiot" think Henson would work out any different?

He threw one in trash time vs. the Ravens.

I only remember one half on thanksgiving day, and that trash time vs. the Ravens.

Maybe someone can refresh my memory on the 7 games he played in.

They're counting the games in which he was the holder. A misleading stat if there ever was one.
