Drew Henson signed to Vikings practice squad

I used to avoid any thread about Henson but this is just so refreshing to read something not about TO.

[iceberg]

I'm looking at ESPN News and the scroll just showed the following:

"Vikings sign Henson to the practice squad."

 

[acheman]

I wonder what he will do with JACKSON WEARING #7, go with 11 again?

 

[CrazyCowboy]

He may beat Brad Johnson out......

He may beat Brad Johnson out......

gonna be hard to do from the practice squad.

 

[BigDInCharlotte]

Hasn't Johnson come out recently and said that he hopes/plans to play another 5 or 6 years in the league?

 

[Doomsday101]

I wish him the best of luck.

Okay, this explains the TO thing. Apparently he has been holding out hope that Jerruh would bring Henson back and he would then lead the Boys to the Super bowl by throwing 70 passes a game in TO's direction. Evidently, TO took all those pills in despair that Henson would not be here.

Signed to practice squad according to ESPN

 

[eduncan22]

contract terms?

 

[iceberg]

contract terms?

practice squads are pretty set in their terms.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Who dat ?

A character that used to be on Saturday Night Live (very funny on SNL) and they later made a movie of the character (the movie was just not good).

The character was a crazy catholic school girl doing all kind of silly things and somtimes she would yell out...SUPERSTAR.

Yes they are.

Here is your check. My best advice? Rent, don't buy.

He may beat Brad Johnson out......

Beat him out of Minnesota, or beat him out the door after practice but anymore then thats an EXTREME longshot. Once again, if this kids so good why did eevery team pass on him on the waiver wire and why has he been sitting at home all this time. Let me guess its all a big part of Parcells blackballed him conspiracy

 

[k19]

would love to hear the terms of the contract.

He had to eeither pay them all the money the Cowboys gave him for the remainder of his contract or carry Johnsons jock. Unfortunately he's not good enough to carry Johnson's jock so he just fessed up the money

 

[wileedog]

Practice squad?

Wow, TO and Henson's career went on life support within 24 hours of each other...

 

[fortdick]

Yes they are.

Here is your check. My best advice? Rent, don't buy.

So, does he give up all the guaranteed money the Cowboys owe him or did they buy him out? If he signed elsewhere, his contract with the Cowboys should be void (I would think).
