Who wants to bet WR Chris Henry is a Cowboy ...

[Hostile]

I actually used the wrong quote but I still was talking about Jerry being interested. I dont think it was a HUGE interest in Pacman at first until the Cowboys started losing cornerbacks to free agency. Then I think Jerry's interest became known and I think he saw the value of getting a very good player at little risk. From the draft picks to the salary cap hit it made good business sense to make the deal. Low risk with a potential high return. But I dont think Jerry interest was high until the need became available. Same with Henry.

One week after Pacman said he wanted to play in Dallas...this article was posted.

Cowboys, Patriots interested in Pacman? By Terry McCormick, tmccormick@nashvillecitypaper.com

Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones’ said in an interview with an Atlanta radio this week that he would like to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

According to sources, the Cowboys and New England Patriots are among a handful of teams that could have interest in Jones. Jones made the comments regarding the Cowboys on 680-AM The Fan in Atlanta on Thursday.

Another report listed the Miami Dolphins as a possibility.

The City Paper first reported in its Feb. 28 edition that Jones’ agents had been given permission to seek a trade by the Titans. Conversations between Jones’ representatives and a number of teams took place at the NFL Combine last month in Indianapolis.

Jones’ attorney and agent Manny Arora said he no knowledge of any trade possibilities involving his client, but indicated that a trade to one of those organizations could be beneficial for Jones.

“We have been given no information about a trade,” Arora said. “If the Titans were to trade Adam, the Dallas Cowboys or New England Patriots would be a good fit for him. Those teams have strong leadership and a track record of being able to give players a second chance. If Adam was to play for one of those teams, there is a good likelihood that he and his teammates would all have rings on their fingers.”

The Titans declined comment on the matter, but have maintained that trading Jones is one of their options.

Jones, the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft, has been suspended since April 10 by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for a sting of off-field incidents that includes six arrests. Last month, Goodell extended Jones’ suspension saying it would be reviewed sometime before training camp.

Arora has said he hopes to have the matter reviewed sometime before the NFL Draft in late April to give his client a better chance of finding a role on a team in 2008.

The NFL said Jones does not have to be reinstated in order to be traded, but determining his value might be more difficult while he is unable to play.
Jones recently entered an Alford plea in Fayette County, Ga., in a felony obstruction of an officer charge to settle the last of charges pending against him.

The supposed interest by those other teams was refuted at every turn. The Cowboys interest wasn't.

Still believe your version of when interest happened? Look at the date quoted in the article.

Jacques Reeves and Nate Jones were still the property of the Dallas Cowboys on February 28th, 2008 as Free Agency had not begun, but Dallas had already decided to let them go. Evidenced by the fact they were not offered any contracts.

I was for all the other "knucklehead" signings, but I don't see this happening. Mainly because I think Jerry already has a man crush on WR Roy Williams and will sign him next off-season if the Lions do not franchise him first.

Then we will probably draft a young WR in the first or second round to groom for the future. We just will not have the roster space for Henry after that. Owens, Williams, Crayton, rookie WR (Crabtree?), and then whoever wins out between Hurd, Austin, and Stanback.

Exactly, I think the Cowboys knew they were not going to sign them and realize that they needed to upgrade the cornernack position. With two first round picks they were targeting a CB but also bounced around the idea of also adding a player like Pacman with minimal risk. Jerry always said that if they could get him at their price then they would but it would have no impact on how they drafted and moved forward. That says that they were not depending on pacman and he would have to prove his value to the team.

I think the same principles apply to Henry. Right now he is suspended but if he if reinstated then the Cowboys could have some interest. They would continue to operate without any dependence on Henry and with a minimal risk to the cap. Henry would have to prove his worth to the team but there is no sense of urgency of them to sign him or play him.

I think its ironic that both of these guys went to VT. They both are poster boys for stupidy and the leagues conduct rules. And all three (including Tank Johnson) can be examples of how you can turn it around if put it the right enviroment and team.

I say sign him!

Both guys went to West Virginia not Virginia Tech.

He hasn't got a prayer of landing here.

 

[speedkilz88]

Henry also hasn't been suspended, yet anyway.

 

[JVita17]

Your on something if you think we're going to sign Henry

lol this prolly the same game thought we were on something when the pacman jones threads came... I say we will sign Henry.

 

[jjalldaway21]

next season.The crimes he did arent like really crazy he will be suspended for a while then be good like his college buddy Pacman and nobody will want him and Jerry will take him for the minimum.I can smell it,if we took pacman we will take henry,pacman was worse then henry crime wise.I know this henry is an excellent young reciever who is slightly ********.

This is the most ******** thing I have heard ever.

 

[dozin_theknick]

Henry is not going to be a Cowboy, and personally to all those people who say Cowboys is nothing but a rehab institution, I would have nothing to argue with them about. Right now, we have enough risk. Henry would just be absolute stupid add. Hell, why stop there - let's go after Michael Vick. We could alwys use another RB.

And to those absolute few who seem to see something we didn't, Henry is just an average WR. He is definately not worth the risk, and thank God we will not see it happen.

First of all, I dont think he is worth signing, but if you saw him play, he is a very talented receiver. I dont think the Cowboys should sign him or could deal with the PR it would bring, but dont say he is just an average WR. He's better than anyone the Cowboys have besides TO.

Nah, there was reason, need, and sense in signing pacman. Henry is 0/3

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I'll be my house and car he's still without a job next season...

This is the most ******** thing I have heard ever.

ever are u sure about that pal?:laugh2:

Actually I think it is a good chance that Henry is a Cowboy in the very near future. Why?

1) He is a very good receiver who was rather valuable to the bengals offense. They actually lost production during his suspension time. He surely would have had larger numbers if he wasnt playing with two Pro Bowl receivers.

2) Henry was never considered a bad teammate and was well liked by the Bengals. Sure, he was a knucklehead off the field but on the field and the locker room he was o.k.

3) Just like Pacman and Tank Johnson, there is little risk involved in bringing him in. He will probably make the league minimum and if he screws up, you have players who will easily take over his position. You will not be dependent on him like the Bengals were so the loss (if and when he screws up) will be minimal.

4) Again, just like Pacman and Tank Johnson, he knows he is on his last leg and even a traffic ticket will get him thrown out of the league. Pacman never understood the severity of his situation until after he was traded and still had to wait to be reinstated to just practice with the team. Before then, he was still defending himself and minimizing his actions. Now, he is contrite and has become a choirboy because he realizes the situation and has people around him that has opened his eyes. I think Henry is in the same situation.

5) We need another receiver, period. Jerry will see that this may be a guy who can help his team win now and although he may take a PR hit (like the signing of Tank and Pacman and T.O), Jerry will always think of team first. Each time Jerry signed a player that was considered controversial it always came down to the player being able to help him win. The only difference is that the players normally turned out to be very good players who helped the team win. It happened with Deion, Terry Glenn, Keyshaun, Tank Johnson, Pacman(TBD), and maybe Henry.

6) Henry will get off on these charges and be reinstated. The fact that the judge threw out one charge and he had a 6-2 acquittal vote says that another trial should be in his favor. The trial is in about two week and should be over by the middle of camp. The league will have to reinstate him when found not guilty and he will be a free agent. There are a number of teams that could use him (Titans, Bears, Dolphins, Chiefs, Falcons) but right now those teams would not have the patience to sign him. Each have had thier issues with "character" players and dont want the headache. The Cowboys may be the only team willing to take him on.

7) The Cowboys probably are the only team in the league that has the support system that actually helps players develop into productive men. Calvin Hill has done an excellent job of preventive maintenance with these guys and I read on PFT that the Dallas Cowboys is actually the only team in the last few years that has not had a player arrested. You guys can say what you like about who we bring in but the facts are that the enviroment encourages good citizenship and accountability. The bottem line is Chris Henry alone (just like pacman and tank johnson) cannot disrupt the harmony of this team and the Cowboys have enough stand up players to not allow him to do that anyway. The Bengals was a team of misfits and players acted accordingly. Not here!

I say sign him and make a very good team even better!

We are the Cowboys.
We are owned by Jerry Jones.

Henry is young and talented.


Dont put anything past Jerry. If he could get Henry on the cheap and Henry plays well....

Its win-win.

Now you're cooking with grease! Hey we all would like to have 53 T-Newmans on the team but this is a win now league in the business of talent accumulation.

My bad on the VT reference. Had a brain fart and passing gas is only human. LOL

Sorry Hos, I love your work and respect your solid and educated opinion but I believe we have more than a prayer of landing Henry.

The latter, if nothing else... is just SMART.

Let me get this straight.
After he comes out of suspenions
after nobody else wants him
we will?
And for minimum?
And why would Jerra stack the deck too much with hooligans?
I think Jerra realizes these two miscreants, Pacman and Tank, are enough for now.
