Treehugger Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 ESPN: Bengals cut Henry, say they'll no longer tolerate his conductESPN.com news services Updated: April 3, 2008, 2:53 PM ET CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals decided Thursday they've had enough of Chris Henry's legal problems, cutting the wide receiver after his fifth arrest since 2005. An attorney for Henry, 24, entered not guilty pleas for him after Henry was accused of punching an 18-year-old man in the face and breaking his car window with a beer bottle. Municipal Court Judge Bernie Bouchard set bond at $51,000 on charges of misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging. Noting Henry's previous arrests involving drugs, guns and alcohol, the judge called Henry "a one-man crime wave." He ordered electronic monitoring if Henry makes bail. Henry did not speak at the hearing, and attorney Perry Ancona declined to discuss the case after court. Bengals president Mike Brown said in a statement Thursday that Henry had forfeited his career with the club. Chad Johnson discussed his rift with the Bengals, his contract status and his surprise at the release of Chris Henry with Max Kellerman and Brian Kenny on 1050 ESPN Radio in New York. Listen "His conduct can no longer be tolerated," Brown said. Henry was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for the first half of last season for repeatedly violating the league's conduct policy. He was also suspended for two games in 2006. "The Bengals tried for an extended period of time to support Chris and his potentially bright career," Brown said. "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. ... But those efforts end today, as we move on with what is best for our team." The player's agent, Marvin Frazier, said Thursday he did not know enough about the charges to comment. "I just want to say that we're sorry this all happened, and we will continue to try to work to help Chris," Frazier said. "I do want to thank the Cincinnati Bengals -- Mike Brown, [coach] Marvin Lewis and everyone -- for all they have done to try to help this young man. Many of them have gone beyond the call of duty." According to a statement filed with Hamilton County authorities, Henry was identified by Gregory Meyer, whose hometown was not listed, and an eyewitness. They claimed Henry punched Meyer on Monday, causing "visible injury." Henry then threw a beer bottle at Meyer's car, breaking the rear passenger window, according to the affidavit. Cutting third receiver Chris Henry after his latest arrest makes this much clear for the Bengals: Making Chad Johnson a happy camper is an even greater priority, writes James Walker. Story Henry has had a string of problems with police. He was in court last week after being ticketed for driving with expired Kentucky license plates. He paid $149 in fines and court costs, according to the Hamilton County Municipal Court records. Henry was arrested four times between December 2005 and June 2006. He was accused of possession of marijuana in northern Kentucky, carrying a concealed weapon in Florida, drunken driving in Ohio and providing alcohol to minors in northern Kentucky. In that case, he served two days in jail in 2006 after pleading guilty to a charge of letting minors drink alcohol in a hotel room he had rented. Following his NFL suspension, Henry caught 21 passes for 343 yards and two touchdowns last season. Henry had nine touchdown catches in 13 games in 2006, when he was suspended by the league for two games and benched for another by Lewis because of misconduct. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound receiver was a third-round draft pick from West Virginia in 2005. Disgruntled star receiver Chad Johnson was stunned when told of Henry's release. "Are you sure? Man, they can't let him go. That dude is good. He's very, very good," Johnson said on 1050 ESPN New York. "We need him. Those are not easy shoes to fill, regardless of the trouble he has gotten into in the past," Johnson said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Chad, just because he can catch a ball does not mean that the rules of society of don't apply to him. I applaud the Bengals, more teams need to start doing this.

Lubeck Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yes Chad, just because he can catch a ball does not mean that the rules of society of don't apply to him. I applaud the Bengals, more teams need to start doing this. Is anyone really surprised by Chads response? The only thing keeping him on that team is the 8 million it will cost to move him. Maybe he will start random acts of violence too though to get dumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Cowboys are gonna get him too. They've become such a classless team. Just imagine having T.O., Pacman, and Henry on the same team....hell, they might as well add Chad to the mix. Maybe they can also get Vick to back up Romo once he's out of prison.

Nesta Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 unbelievable. this scumbag was probably given everything he wanted from high school on, because he's a special athlete.

I hope, although I know it won't happen, the entire nfl turns its back on mr. henry. I don't know this guy is Pacman Jones level, if not worse after this incident with a kid. If the accusation proves to be true he is definitely looking at a suspension, either 1 year or indefinite, most likely the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well its about time the Bengals started bringing the hammer down on their players which have been a major source of embarrassment to the league. Chad Johnson should wisen up and take notice, he could be in the same situation Terrell Owens was in while he was with the Eagles. Now if Chris Henry was to wind up on another team I don't think that should reflect negatively on that team. Players that might have been a problem on one team could fit in better elsewhere. I definitely see him landing in either Tampa or Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgutmartyr Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Now if Chris Henry was to wind up on another team I don't think that should reflect negatively on that team. Players that might have been a problem on one team could fit in better elsewhere. I definitely see him landing in either Tampa or Dallas. I think it would, personally. The guy is a problem off the field, has had many chances to clean his act up, and has missed games because of it for two years running now. If this was just a locker room problem, I'd agree with you. But this guy is going to wind up in prison eventually, and giving him yet another chance is simply poor judgement at this point. By the way, welcome aboard.

Tempest Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks for the welcome. True he is not a locker room problem but the Bengal's lacks positive leadership in the locker room. Don't have much to go on at this point about the latest altercation other than a broken window, a black eye and Chris Henry was involved. I would agree that it is poor judgement if it was the Giants, as for other teams in the league; ah well you knew what you were getting yourself into and did it anyway. I think it would, personally. The guy is a problem off the field, has had many chances to clean his act up, and has missed games because of it for two years running now. If this was just a locker room problem, I'd agree with you.
