Bengals Release Chris Henry

From Bengals.com: Bengals release Henry

Mike Brown’s statement:

Chris Henry has forfeited his opportunity to pursue a career with the Bengals. His conduct can no longer be tolerated.

“The Bengals tried for an extended period of time to support Chris and his potentially bright career. We had hoped to guide him toward an appropriate standard of personal responsibility that this community would support and that would allow him to play in the NFL. We acknowledge those fans who had concerns about Chris; at the same time we tried to help a young man.

“But those efforts end today, as we move on with what is best for our team.”

Chris Henry has Randy Moss-like talent, but has squandered it by his inability to stay out of trouble.  I am not sure what his problem is besides just being plain stupid.  You could probably attribute problems like this to substance abuse, but that wasn’t his problem.  With his career and money earning potential at stake, Chris Henry couldn’t figure out a way of just staying home and staying out of trouble.  Pathetic.

I had been rooting for Chris Henry to make it through this and finally mature as a human being, but it’s not happening, and it’s definitely not happening here in Cincinnati.  I think the Bengals made the right decision in supporting him and trying to help him and I think they’re doing the right thing in getting rid of him now.

UPDATE:
From Cincinnati.com: Bengals Waive Henry

Henry pleaded not guilty to both charges today before Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Bernie Bouchard, who ordered him held on a $51,000 bond.

After citing Henry’s criminal history, Bouchard told him, “You’ve kind of become a one-man crime wave.”
