He doesn’t want to come to the Chiefs, that’s the main deal with Chad Johnson. He either wants to be on a contending team (the Chiefs are certainly not there; YET!) or go back to Miami (where he has a home, and played in college.) Otherwise I’d be all for offering Chad all kinds of incentives to play for us, but it just won’t happen. Chris Henry, on the other hand, could happen. I say give the kid a chance. Yes, I’ll get flamed for that, but hear me out. He’s a legitimate number 2 deep threat guy, he’s a proven guy ON THE FIELD. It’s his off the field BS that is the drama. So all we gotta do is add clauses in his contract that if he F’s up even one single more time, we take back almost all of his money, sever his contract immediately, boot him off the team, (which would basically kick him out of the NFL for good) and send him on his merry way, to a prison where he belongs. But until that happens; we A. Get a quality receiver, and get him cheap. B. Cover our own asses in case it does happen, and C. Provide him with a change in scenery, which may do him alot of good. If he was a clean receiver, I’d be thrilled to add him, and with Herm mentoring, his contract depending on his actions, and everyone already watching him due to his past, I think he would actually go straight. Go ahead and burst that bubble before it grows too large, lol.

Fuck Chris Henry.

I do wish the Chiefs would look seriously at Chad Johnson though (if the Bengals don’t end up re-signing him). I know some people would be against him coming to KC but I don’t mind a little personality and passion in my players. It’s not like it affects his playing.

I used to live in Cincinnati. Here’s the take on Chris Henry: he’s actually a good locker room guy, but it’s a stretch to think that he can keep himself out of trouble. Like Pac-man, he’s a guy that never learns his lesson. This guy was given more second chances than we even realize.

I think my main hatred for Henry came after he was suspended for half a season and he made the claim that if fans didn’t support him after he came back, they weren’t real fans. But look at the history after that. The feeling is that 8 games of missed football games would motivate you to clean up your act, right?

Wrong. He was accused of assaulting a valet guy at a parking lot a few months later (don’t know what came of this). He was accused of two other infractions that he was later found innocent for. The point being… there were 3 incidents where Henry should have been scared straight. But he was still stupid.

Some people change, but there is just way too much history to believe Henry can change.

not worth the risk, Id risk it for Pac, but I thought he was the best cb in the league before he got kicked out.

Wow, rob that really looks like a Faders fan post. Next time sober up before you start typing.

On the Bengals blog situation – Adam kudos for handling things the right way. I agree with David that the allegations were straight bullsh*t and don’t blame him for his hatred of the team. At the same time, you have to see things in the bigger picture.

Even though they’re probably wrong, the Bengals surely have a mountain of lawyers to fight this with. They could drag the issue out for years and potentially put this whole network under.

Good luck to Dave in his battle with them, but Adam and Zach – I think you took the best route for the interest of everyone else here. I would hate to see AA go down just because someone decided to get into an unwinnable and costly (though justified) fight with a franchise. Thank you.

Chris Henery when out of trouble and clean would be a good pick up. We don’t even know if he will be playing at all this coming season. He missed 8 games last year and now with a new run into with the law. Hes a good recieve but needs to stay out of trouble and stay on the field.

Chris Henry is not Chief material. Perhaps the Raiders can use him. If he could serve some prison time, he would fit right in over there.
