Rumor: Bengals-Chris Henry to be cut

[ThreeSportStar80]

Hmm let me think about this one real quick...the guy pulls guns out in public and does drugs... Umm I think the answer is a definite NO!

Catches are hard to come by when your playing behind an All Pro and a No.2 WR whom has averaged 75 catches over the past 2 seasons

Yeah. When TJ Housawhatsis was out for two games. Henry tore it up!!! Four whole catches.

I agree with you, he is still young and there is room for him to mature. Having said that, I subscribe to the line of thinking that you don't buy trouble. If this were a kid who had a drinking problem only or just smoked a little bit, I might consider him an investment worth betting on. He is not. He exibits too many signs of trouble. At some point, you have to evaluate what the chances of reward might be in terms of the risk you take. In this players case, the chances are exceedingly low, IMO, that even if you could get him signed to a reasonable contract, you could keep him out of trouble long enough to receive any pay off on investment.

It's just not there IMO.

Very true ABQ, while most acquisitions are somewhat of a risk..signing Chris Henry would be a major risk.

I just look past our starting tandem and realize none of the Wrs posses the skill set (size, speed and route running ability) that Chris Henry displayed as a rookie. 6TDs is unbelievable for a 3rd WR.

I suggest you read Chris Henry's bio.........He was very intrical to the Bengals passing attack. Did the you miss the 6Tds? playing behind Chad and TJ

2005 PARTICIPATION: Played in 14 games (2-13 and 15-16), and in Wild Card playoff on 1-8-06 vs. Pittsburgh … Inactive for Games 1 and 14 … Credited with five starts (Games 4-7 and 12).


2005 HIGHLIGHTS: Made NFL debut Sept. 18 vs. Minnesota, and had four catches for 45 yards … Led team in catches (four) on Sept. 25 at Chicago, and scored his first TD, a 36-yarder that gave Bengals a 17-0 lead in third quarter … On Oct. 2 vs. Houston, had two catches for 34 yards and drew a 25-yard pass interference penalty in the end zone that led to lone Bengals TD in the win … On Oct. 9 at Jacksonville, scored on 25-yard catch in the fourth quarter, closing deficit to 23-20, and earlier on the same drive, had season-long 47-yard catch … Had three receptions for 17 yards Nov. 6 at Baltimore, including three-yard TD catch in fourth quarter that extended Bengals lead to 21-9 … Had three catches for 31 yards Nov. 20 vs. Indianapolis, including a 15-yard TD catch in the third quarter that cut the Colts lead to 35-34 … Caught 3-for-53 on Nov. 27 vs. Baltimore, including a 27-yard TD catch in third quarter that extended Bengals lead to 31-0 … Season-high five catches in key win Dec. 4 at Pittsburgh, gaining 52 yards, with a key third-down catch of six yards on the fourth-quarter drive that put the Bengals ahead 38-24 … Scored sixth TD of season Dec. 24 vs. Buffalo, connecting with Carson Palmer for a 27-yard score in third quarter … Had one catch before suffering injury in Wild Card playoff 1-8-06 vs. Pittsburgh, teaming with Palmer for 66-yard gain on second Bengals offensive play … The playoff bomb carried to the Steelers 22, setting up a field goal for 3-0 Bengals lead.

I concure, we really would be in better shape if we had another WR we could go to but I do have some faith in Crayton. I do not believe he can step in and replace a Terry Glenn's or a Terrell Owen's production but I do beleive he can be an effective 3rd WR and even tow the line for a game or two if need be. Yeah it would be better to have another proven guy but then again, we are now a two TE offense. We need to be more worried about what happens if Witten goes down IMO. Hannam is a decent player and I think he might improve now that he's not 3rd on the depth chart but he's no Witten. Fasano is impressive as a rookie prospect but he's still just a rookie. Ryan, Pierce, Curtis and whomever else are all just unproven IMO. You really need at least 5 decent TEs to even run effective practices. WR is a concern but I'm more concerned with TE to be honest.

Are you arguing any point in particular?

You stated that it was hard for him to make catches b/c he was behind 2 great receivers.

I showed that you were wrong as the two games where TJ didn't start, Henry didn't do much. Not so "intrical" in those games.

let's sign him and Dwight Smith
