Bengals cut Henry, say they'll no longer tolerate his conduct
ESPN.com news services

The Cincinnati Bengals, deciding they have had enough of wide receiver Chris Henry's run-ins with the law, released him on Thursday, hours after he surrendered to police to face assault and criminal damaging charges.



Henry, 24, was being held in the Hamilton County jail, pending a court appearance Thursday, after being charged with misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging. He is accused of punching an 18-year-old man in the face and breaking a window in the man's car. A warrant for Henry's arrest was issued Wednesday and he surrendered, a police spokesman said.

"Chris Henry has forfeited his opportunity to pursue a career with the Bengals. His conduct can no longer be tolerated," Bengals president Mike Brown said in a statement.



Henry, arrested five times since December 2005, was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for the first half of last season for repeatedly violating the league's conduct policy.



"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," Brown said. "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."



Court records do not indicate if Henry has hired an attorney in the new case.



The player's agent, Marvin Frazier, said Henry gave him a different version of events but declined to elaborate.



"I was told it didn't happen that way," Frazier said.



According to an affidavit filed in Hamilton County, Henry was identified by Gregory Meyer, whose hometown was not listed, and an eyewitness. The eyewitness 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.



Henry has had a string of problems with police. He most recently was in court last week after being ticketed for driving with expired Kentucky license plates. He paid $149, according to the Hamilton County Municipal Court records.



Henry also pleaded guilty to letting minors drink alcohol in a hotel room he had rented. He served two days in a northern Kentucky jail.

Dude looks like a chic. No wonder he has issues!!

[Paladin]

Marshall needs to take notice. At some point, immaturity kills you........

[Punisher]

:unamused:

[Jason in LA]

Nope. He's a problem waiting to happen. Chances are he's not going to beat these charges. There are eye witnesses of him hitting this guy and busting his window. His career is probably over.

[dbfan21]

That is the wierdest looking man I have seen. His career in the NFL is over. Hope it was worth it buddy!

[clint7]

Poor kid. Bengals could have at least given him a chance to straighten up and fly right. :)

convicted or not...

so leave him be...

[dbfan4life]

You know you're bad when you get the boot from thug central.

Maybe him and Maurice Clarett can start a flag football league

Yeah, that's what we need. Another receiver with an attitude problem. That's worked out well for us this past year.

[Hotrod]

Bring him in.

[Punisher]

Bring him in.

LMAO

I love the talent he possesses but too much risk involved. He virtually gets into a altercation of some kind once a month and like Pac Man just cannot seem to learn after many many warnings. It would have to come REAL cheap and with a lot of stipulations for me as the Denver Broncos to take him in.

[montrose]

A sad story. I suppose Chad Johnson might as well quit his whining because there's no way they're dealing him now.

[eddie mac]

Bring him in.


I agree. At least he'll take the public limelight off Brandon.:giggle:

[Kaylore]

:rofl: It's so funny. This cut is like three incidents too late.

**** him don't feel sorry for him..Hes an Drunk a$$hole

It never ceases to astonish me how utterly stupid some of these athletes can be. They basically hit the financial and celebrity jackpot at the expense of some small sacrifices in life. But for some reason they feel they are above the rules that governs most of us. I'm sure the adulation the received through most of their lives corrupted their moral compass, but they were given multiple chances to find their way back, yet...obviously they must feel they have a sense of entitlement. Their arrogance was their downfall.

PS Atlas, I sure hope you were being sarcastic about offering him the league minimum. This guy is a lost cause (the worst of the worst, and considering the league, that is saying something), and the last thing you want is his kind around, considering the many young minds with question marks the Broncos already have.

Someone got that pic of Marv Lewis picking turds at young age. It would add nicely to this thread.

He can probably use Kircus as a reference.

[CBF1]

Perfect addition to the team.... 5 year, 60 million Pay him vet min 4 years with the promise of a huge payday year 5... Cut his ass then.

[Los Broncos]

He looks like Qwamae Brown.

[montrose]

It's not that I feel sorry for Henry, I always think it's sad when talented, young athletes throw their careers away due to stupidity.

[Lestat]

oh h3ll no, i don't want him anywhere near Denver nor Marshall or the other young pups.
Shanny has enough going on with getting rid of scapegoats, handling Marsh's fvckups & trying to draft properly.

we had T Henry last year & don't need anymore problems(though T's is a different situation)

[RodInCanton]

:rofl: It's so funny. This cut is like three incidents too late.

Seriously. Would you even want this guy on your team after he got busted for buying alcohol for underage kids? Not trying to be a prude but come on man, you're a professional athlete w/ chicks who can drink legally throwing themselves after you! I never could understand how some people are just born without common sense...

Do you think Subway would hire a guy that has been arrested 7 times in 2 years? Only professional sports does that.

That's probably not what happened. I'm thinking Henry had a party at his room and some underage girls showed up and started drinking there and the cops busted it. Whose ever's name is on the bill gets charged. That's just a guess on my part.

Minimum deal......any takers???After just serving a 8 game susp. he'll likely be serving a year long suspension for this one. NO is the answer

I did say if he is found INNOCENT.

Yeah, but then people get pissed when gets cut in his 4th yr because the backloading precludes his being traded ;)
