Say what you want about TO but NOT ONCE has he had a run in with the law. IMO that is a big difference.

If Henry is 100% innocent I'd take a look at signing him, but I don't run the team.

I think Moss is the better comparison, with the weed and the running over the female security guard... etc

Henry was arrested four times between December 2005 and June 2006.

- He was accused of possession of marijuana in northern Kentucky (Isn't too big a deal, cops usually break off a bud or two for later)
- Carrying a concealed weapon in Florida (Mistake, tough gun laws in FLA... Switzer was worse though)
- Drunken driving in Ohio (Bad, but can happen to any of us after a few cold ones, we're not marks like he is though)
- 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. (He had a hotel party, if he knew they were underage he shouldn't have let them in... he was only 21 at the time bad decision)
-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. (Big Deal)
- Latest entanglement. (If guilty he's suspended from NFL so its's a non issue)

He definitely not sqeaky clean, but he'd be a hell of a bargain and fill a big hole in our offense.
