Whether it is a story he actually heard but will never come to pass or his source is full of bs.
No matter if he is telling the truth or flat out lying.
I would NOT be shocked at all if they indeed do intend to cut Henson.
I am not a Henson hater nor lover. I am not a Romo lover or hater.
I will just say that no matter how many on one side hate henson or the other loves him. No matter how many people cry bs or jump up celebrating.
I just would NOT be shocked if they indeed do intend to cut Henson.
I could see them wanting a vet to back up Bledsoe but to be honest I think if they cut him it would be for a cheaper 3rd string QB.
If you are paying a guy a decent wage hoping he will be a backup (2nd string QB) or eventual starter it is one thing. If the guy last year and from the start of things this year, seems to be nothing more than a 3rd stringer than I think teams would rather just get another prospect to develope but for much less.
So I am not saying it will happen or will not happen, but it would not shock me and in some ways I think I would half expect it to happen.
You beat me to it, BP. I have no clue if this guy really has an inside source or not, but if I read the headline "Henson Cut" tomorrow it wouldn't faze me at all.
I didn't get a good vibe from Henson's mini-camp reports, and it seemed like they were spending a lot of extra time with him. I'm wondering if they are thinking there should be more progress in his third season.
It looks like there is a lot of smoke that Romo is "The One." We still have to see some fire, so I'm not annointing anybody anything, but if they come to the conclusion that Romo is better now than they expect Henson to be this year then it makes sense to cut ties with Drew and get a new project started.
Enter Mroz, who has done a lot of work with new QB coach Palmer. Hmmm.
Again, like you said, I have no personal stake in this at all - I like Henson and have been rooting for him since he was a Yankee farmhand. Just seems like going into his third year they expected more out of him.
I still think he'll make it into camp though.
