Who thought we should take a chance on this guy in the draft last year? I guess this is why teams shy away from players with character issues. For every guy who turns out okay, there's a guy like Henry.
From The Sporting News:
INSIDE DISH: The Bengals can't release talented but troubled WR Chris Henry because he's injured. Henry, who has been arrested four times since December, continues to rehab a sprained knee suffered in the playoff loss to the Steelers. He wasn't cleared to practice in last week's minicamp. According to the NFL Players Association, players who are injured while performing services for their club are entitled to receive their salary for as long as they remain physically unable to play during the season, as well as receive medical care. Players who are released while still injured and unable to play because of the injury must file an injury grievance within 25 days after their release. Henry is a big, fast receiver with tremendous talent. His six TD catches in 2005 were the most by a Bengals rookie since Eddie Brown (eight) in 1985. But his days in Cincinnati are numbered. His repeated scrapes with the law can't be tolerated by a playoff-caliber team that doesn't need the negative distraction.
