It seeems that the 'phins are one of the first few teams in line to trade for the former Wolverine. More, I guess, will beat down his agents door after his baseball career is offically DOA. However, I would not send a 1st round pick to the Texans for Henson. I would do a conditional 2nd or 3rd next year provided they took Jamar Fletcher as well.
Is that what the texans are asking for henson? I know he did some reps with last years qb crops from the nfl draft, henson impressed the coaches, they went on saying the kid hasnt lost a step and he would be first round matrial. I also heard that the steelers are very interested in henson. I do agree with you blackadder. Its to much a risk for someone who hasnt played football in 3 years to go in the first. We seen this before with names like hutchinson,weinke. However the upside is henson is alot better prospect then both of them. I think a 3rd round pick for henson is ideal. Texans are kinda in a jam, do they sign him and take a chance they may not get a first round for him, and have his salery? Or do they simply not sign him and let him declare for aprils draft as a free.
I believe the article in one of the Miami papers said the Texans were asking for a first rounder in this April draft. I just don't think he's worth it but has more upside than than Hutchinson or Weinke ever will. Hopefully, Marino & Spielman will decide that Henson is not the answer but Rivers is. I'd prefer they work a deal out for Bulger rather than Henson. If they pass on Rivers, they are idiots. The Packers and Steelers were among the other interested teams. I would take from St Pierre from Pittsburgh or Nall from GB if one of those teams get Henson. Green Bay would be the ideal fit for Drew IMO. Imagine the irony of somewho used to wear the blue & maize becoming the hero of Cheeseheads everywhere.
I think the whole thing is mute, because Henson will re-enter the draft....if he signs with the Texans, even to be traded, he has to be given 6th round money, which is whatever is left from Houston's rookie cap last year, and im sure its not much, like 200k signing bouns and minimum salaries for 4 years, no way he does that, if he enters the draft, hes no worse than a 2nd round pick and prolly a 1st, so he leaves a ton of cash on the table if he signs now....the benefit though, is he could choose the team he plays for, but he gonna have to give a lot of that Yankee money back, so hes gonna cash in, im sure....
