For all the skeptics out there, word out of Buffalo is that RB Travis Henry, who originally called the drafting of Miami(Fla.) RB Willis McGahee “a slap in the face,” is truly sold on having McGahee on the team after he made a few realizations. His recent comments that he could live with McGahee on the roster with him were not just lip service. First, McGahee likely will be put on the physically-unable-to-perform list to start the season. That move allows the Bills to activate him during a four-week window between weeks 10 and 14, but we hear that’s not likely to happen, no matter McGahee’s progress. The Bills won’t jeopardize his long-term career for a quick fix in November. Second, Henry recently signed a one-year contract extension, locking him up through 2005. Although that happened prior to the draft, Henry knows he’s established as the starter and it’s McGahee that must prove himself to take over the role.
Well, this is good news about Henry.
Right now there shouldn't even be discusion about what we should do about Henry/McGahee because we don't know what McGahee can do at this level and we do need Henry for this year. Although, around half way through 2004 and that offseason as Henry enters his final year and McGahee will have a year under his belt, that is when the debate will begin, not now it is way too early.
