Broncos Release Travis Henry Quote:
The Denver Broncos have released running back
Travis Henry, saying his commitment to the team was in question.
The Broncos signed Henry to a five-year, 22.5 million dollar contract in March of 2007.
He was hampered by injuries in his only
season in Denver, rushing for 691 yards on 167 carries with four touchdowns.
Henry was told by the NFL last September that he had failed a test for marijuana and would be suspended for a year, but he challenged the test and the punishment and won.
| Maybe now Henry can move to Texas with his 23 babies and baby mommas and start the YFT Ranch. |

Now the recent signing of Michael Pittman makes more sense.

It's more probable that he may have ended his offseason smoking too late... a hot pee sample is probably more the culprit! |

Broncos release RB Travis Henry - NFL - Yahoo! Sports Quote:
DENVER (AP)—The Denver Broncos cut mercurial running back Travis Henry, with coach Mike Shanahan saying Monday the move was more about Henry’s personality than his play.
“He’s just too inconsistent as a person. When you’re too inconsistent as a person, you usually aren’t going to win championships,” Shanahan said during a spring workout later in the day.
“I’m not going to get into details what he did do or didn’t do. You have to do little things. If you don’t do the little things, obviously you can’t count on somebody. So that’s why he’s released.”
The Broncos signed Henry to a five-year, $22.5 million contract in March 2007, but he was hampered by injuries in his only season in Denver, rushing for 691 yards on 167 carries with four touchdowns. He also faced a one-year NFL suspension in September for a failed a test for marijuana, but challenged the test and the punishment, and won.
Shanahan said he supported Henry then because he believed his player was innocent.
“That’s not the case here,” Shanahan said.
Henry’s agent, Hadley Englehard, was out of the country and did not return telephone and e-mail messages.
Running back Andre Hall said Henry “brought it on himself.”
Asked to explain, Hall said, “I really can’t say too much. I don’t know too much about what’s going on, what happened. I guess he had a hamstring injury. I know he’s supposed to be out here. He’s not hurt.”
Henry was released six days after the Broncos agreed to a one-year deal with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Michael Pittman. Pittman said he didn’t know Henry would be cut loose.
“That’s all in-house. I knew nothing about this until a few minutes ago,” he said.
“I didn’t wish for Travis to be released. I would never wish that upon anybody. I’m always here to compete. I am a competitor. With Travis still here, I would have competed against him,” Pittman said.
Shanahan said he feels good about the running backs that remain.
“We have a lot of guys going in the right direction. We have a tailback coming back that averaged 5.2 yards a carry (Selvin Young) and some other guys that I have a lot of confidence,” he said.
Before joining the Broncos, Henry played for Tennessee and Buffalo.
| He's probably pretty happy to be out of there. I wonder if anyone will pick him up. I wonder if the Chiefs are gunna look at him...
