MTJ06 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Henry to become a free agent? The News Barring a late breakthrough in negotiations, Travis Henry will become an unrestricted free agent. ESPN's Len Pasquarelli is reporting the Titans will not pay the veteran tailback an $8.3 million roster bonus that is due on Monday. Instead, the team is set to release Henry unless he reworks his contract. Despite considerable discussions again today, the two sides are not close to finding a middle ground that would accommodate both the team and the player. Our View This is actually pretty simple. If Henry is still on the Tennessee roster Monday morning, the team must give him $8.3 million. Since the NFL does not have waivers or transactions on Sunday, the Titans must release Henry before the end of the league's business day Saturday to avoid having to pay this huge sum. We wouldn't be surprised to see Henry return to Tennessee even after being cut, because he's still got the inside track on a starting job there. However, unless things change quickly, he's going to be released Fantasy Football - Newsbreakers - Fanball.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsis Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 i'm USUALLY positive. i just get really pissed off when the Jets pass on impact players and try to sign complete crap. understandable. It would have been nice to have a guy like thomas, but nothing we can do about it. cept maybe call woody and offer to pay the signing bonus. I know I don't have that kinda money.

Smizzy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I have always like Travis. He played 10 games that one yr on a broken leg. Tough kid. He is better than Chris Brown & Ahman Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I've been saying this for months. He's used to the AFC East, he's used to ****ty weather, he was a very good back in Buffalo who got ran out because they thought Willis McGahee was the second coming of O.J. Simpson. He goes to Tennessee, he gets nicked up, finally gets his real chance in the second half of last season and lights it up. BRING TRAVIS HENRY BACK TO THE AFC EAST BABY!

JetCane Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Travis Henry: Titans Hope to Strike Long-Term Deal RotoWire.com Staff - RotoWire.com Friday, March 2, 2007 Update: The Titans continue to negotiate with Henry on a long-term deal, and there is optimism that a deal is within striking distance, the Tennessean reports. Recommendation: Henry is under contract through 2009 but has an $8.5 million roster bonus that is due Monday, and the team won't likely pay it. While it's clear that the Titans want him back, there's at least a chance the team could release Henry and then attempt to re-sign him later. Stay tuned. ________________ he was a very good back in Buffalo who got ran out because they thought Willis McGahee was the second coming of O.J. Simpson. Revisionist history. Henry was the one who bitched and moaned about wanting to play or be moved. So, they moved him. He had a good season playing with Young and in Chow's scheme, but he clearly got beat out for the job in Buffalo. He also isnt a threat as a receiver out of the backfield. He and Mcgahee are both better than what the Jets have now, so I'd take either of them, but both seem unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I wouldn't mind Henry, but I think we could get better. If Henry stays healthy I could see him getting 800 or more yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
