Now that Chris Henry is facing assault charges with his 5th arrest since 2005, the Bengals have decided not to put up with him any longer, Henry is now a free agent.

I can only say that I wish it didn't have to come to this, he had a LOT of potential and could of been a great receiver. However, I'm glad the Bengals didn't give him "another" chance, a waste of talent.

Receiver Situation

As much sense as it does to cut ties with Chris Henry, for good, the receiver situation in Cincinnati is not good at all.

* Chad Johnson
* T.J. Houshmandzadeh
* Antonio Chatman
* Glenn Holt
* Marcus Maxwell

With Chad wanting out of Cincinnati badly, if he goes, the situation goes from worse to very bad. Without Henry and CJ, the offense is severely hurt.

Unfortunately I just think Chad is going to be too big of a problem and distraction, but unless we can draft a fairly good receiver in the Draft and get some serious talent in return for CJ, it would be tough to trade him.

Now drafting a WR may happen much earlier than expected.
