Bengals interested in bringing back troubled wide receiver Henry

Several weeks after coach Marvin Lewis emphatically closed the door on the Bengals re-signing Chris Henry, it now appears Cincinnati is open to the possibility of a reunion with the troubled wide receiver.
Henry's agent, Marvin Frazier, said Henry and Lewis spoke a couple days before the Bengals' Week 1 preseason game against the Packers. Frazier said he and Lewis are scheduled to talk again once the Bengals break camp in Georgetown, Ky., on Friday.
When asked of Henry's chances of re-signing with the Bengals, Frazier responded, "Better than 50 percent."
The Bengals waived Henry in April following his arrest for assault, his fifth run-in with the law in three seasons on the team. Prosecutors eventually dropped the charges.

This is the NFL. You can check your morality at the door. Chris Henry is a degenerate, hedonistic fool, but he can get open and he can force other teams into single coverage on Chad Johnson or Houshmalphabits and the Bengals back ups proved they could not. Look for him to be signed.

So basically the Bengals gave him what amounts to a couple month "timeout". Nice. I'm sure he's seen the error of his ways. :roll1:

Hey, the charges against him were dropped. Clearly, this is just a case of a kid being misunderstood. He's a good kid. None of these incidents are his fault. Just a wrong-place, wrong-time kinda deal. Everybody deserves a second (or third or fourth or fifth or sixth) chance.


OR....


He's a fucking thug and the stupid fucking Bengals are thoroughly incapable of learning from their stupid fucking mistakes.



Yeah, I think I'll go with option #2. :pissed:

Lewis at odds with Bengals owner?

Posted: Wednesday August 20, 2008 05:55AM ET

Check out this quote from Bengals coach Marvin Lewis when asked about the possibility of Chris Henry re-joining the team. "I'm not interested," Lewis said at the team's annual preseason luncheon on July 22. "I don't think it would be productive for our football team. You have to be a productive part to be an NFL player, and there's responsibilities to being an NFL player. It's a privilege, it's not a right. There's a lot that comes with being an NFL football player." Yes, there is a lot more. Unfortunately, Lewis' employer, team owner Mike Brown, doesn't see eye to eye with the head coach about just how much more. Which is why the Henry signing might ultimately be the wedge that drives Lewis out of town after the season.

Quote of the Week II

"The Bengals re-acquired a capable wide receiver. All it cost them was their soul. ... It'd be nice if the Bengals stood for something, other than losing.''
--Cincinnati Enquirer columnist Paul Daugherty, on the team's re-signing of troubled wide receiver Chris Henry, who, since being drafted in 2005 by Cincinnati, has been arrested five times for, in order, possession of marijuana, possession of a concealed firearm and aggravated assault with a concealed firearm, DUI, providing alcohol to underage girls in a hotel room and assault. In addition, police were called but no charges filed when Henry allegedly stiffed a parking lot attendant for payment last November and the two men argued. He has been suspended three times for a total of 15 games in his four-year career.
The signing comes in the same year that twice the Bengals said publicly they would definitely not re-sign Henry -- and after they have been hit with several injuries to receivers in camp, including to starters Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
The signing is ridiculous and reprehensible, and Daugherty is overwhelmingly correct. But read the message boards in Bengal Land, and you get a different story. This from "XElitist03,'' on the newspaper's Bengals forum: "paul daugherty should quit his job before he gets fired. he is miserable. he is more miserable than chris henry. i would much rather have chris henry in cincinnati gang-banging than paul writing another article for the newspaper.''
Thanks for that fine bit of perspective, XElitist03.

It appears that most of the sources that are reporting his death are making the assumption because homicide is investigating. In most metro areas, this is common practice when any incident involves a "life-threatening" injury. Not saying that the reports aren't true, but it appears that some media are jumping to conclusions w/o citing sources. Cincy media is still carrying this as "life-threatening" (although it doesn't sound good)...
