Report: Henry draws interest from Bengals
“SEVERAL TEAMS,’ INCLUDING BENGALS
INTERESTED IF HE GETS REINSTATED
ESPN.com is reporting that suspended wide receiver Chris Henry is interested in returning to the Cincinnati Bengals, who released him on April 3, 2008.
Henry’s agent claims a return to the Bengals is a possibility if Henry is reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
“We have interest in several teams, including Cincinnati,” Marvin Frazier said in ESPN.com’s report.
According to ESPN.com’s story, Frazier said the Bengals have shown preliminary interest in Henry, whose assault charge was dropped in Hamilton County court earlier this week.
The Bengals terminated Henry’s contract after the player’s fifth arrest in three seasons. With Henry’s legal issues apparently resolved, the door to reinstatement could open.
Bengals public relations director Jack Brennan issued this statement from the club:
“Chris is presently under NFL suspension, and until such time as he may be reinstated, we are not in position to comment. Even in the event he is reinstated, he is no longer our player, and rarely if ever do we comment on any player who is not under contract with us.”
Henry, a third-round draft pick from West Virginia in 2005, has 88 receptions for 1,370 yards and 17 touchdowns as Cincinnati’s No. 3 wide receiver behind Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
After the assault charge against Henry was dropped, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said, “All we could say is this would be reviewed at the appropriate time, and all factors would be considered,”
In a July 2 interview with WONE-AM radio’s Sportstalk 980, Henry said he’s learned a lot from his string of arrests and would welcome the opportunity play for the Bengals again.
“I hope so,” Henry said at the time. “I love playing for Cincinnati. I got really tight with a bunch of my teammates in Cincinnati. I would love for that to happen, but you never know.
“I learned a lot about everything that happened, and everything taught me a lesson. Just about being in the wrong places and hanging out with the wrong people. I just need to handle myself like a professional at all times. That’s pretty much what I need to do to stay in the league and get another shot at this. That’s what I plan on doing.”

By all means, if he gets reinstated, the Bengals would be guilty of direlection of duty if they didn’t pursue resigning Chris Henry.By Jesse

He has to get reinstated first, and I don’t see that happening. King Goodell hates the Bengals and anyone associated with them. After Henry is denied reinstatement, we can all go back to our normal lives. Carry on.By BnOPanther

If and only if he gets reinstated should they bring him back. It goes without saying the Bengals have had a couple guys in trouble with the law during the Marvin era so they need to be very careful with Henry if the bring him back.By Goadster

Ah, the beat goes on,,,,another athlete totally sorry, totally understanding his wrongful doings, and totally a changed, mature, upstanding citizen. All of this amazing growth as a human being has blossomed ONLY, I say ONLY after his financial and star status world was pulled out from under him. Let him go somewhere else on the fastest train!!! The Bengals have enough “only me counts” players on the roster. For those worried about him coming back to hurt the Bengals, give me a break!! Their locker room is their worse problem, NOT their opponent.By MGOOTEE

If you read the quote carefully it says ‘We have interest IN several teams’ not ‘We have interest FROM several teams’. Big difference…By FLYER

I agree, people do deserve a SECOND chance. He was ARRESTED 5 TIMES!!!! I think he’s used up all of his chances with the Bengals. IF he get’s reinstated with the NFL, which is a big IF. Let another team take that chance. If he comes back to haunt us, so be it. Hopefully this team is finally rid of the players that end up at the police station on a regular basis.By Rickie McMillan

Bringing him back only to “keep him from haunting us” is idiotic at best. Do you all have that little faith in JJoe and Hall ?? That line of thought is what was wrong with the Bengals through the 90’s and should NEVER be repeated. Oh yeah not to mention what you do with all the guys we just drafted… Think about it for God’s sake…By statecensible510waterheaterSl
