it says he's returning to football. got outta yankee contract and even has a qb coach... if we can get him for a 4th rounder or a 3rd... LETS DO IT!!! i think he has great potential, he was a better qb in my opinion then losman or rivers... he can replace drew one day. i kno he's rusty but he'll have time to get back in game shape

[lordofgun]

Watch him shoot up into the first round.

[STAMPY]

i tho texans own his rights and he can only be traded for?

[The Spaz]

Not if they don't sign him by the 24th of April then he goes back into the draft and can be picked by anyone.

[STAMPY]

oh really. didn't kno that. thx spaz

[The Spaz]

:up:

[Devin]

hes ranked by many scouts as the 3rd best available. Texans are asking a 2nd rounder for him.

If they dont sign him by the 24th he enters the draft pool, which could happen since they can only offer him a contract based upon the position he was taken I believe (6th round).

If he doesnt sign he can obviously make a butt load more money in the draft, if he signs he can choose where he goes.

Undecided really would like to see how his workout goes, hes been working out for weeks at the IMG facility with a former QB coach.

please, by what scouts?

clearly not guys who actually watched him play football... as things stand now, i'd take casey clausen over him straight up.

awesome 2 years ago? based on what? do you happen to have his record or stats?

[TKO]

I'm not advocating that we go out of our way to acquire Henson. Hopefully, like Tatonka said, it will knock Rivers down in the draft.

Henson completed 61.6% of his passes for 2,146 yards, 18 TDs and 4 INTs.

While Rivers:

Second leading passer in NCAA history with 13,484 career passing yards, breaking school and ACC records ... Set NCAA record with 51 career starts at quarterback ... also finished second in NCAA history with 13,582 career yards of total offense, breaking school and ACC records ... Tied for fifth in NCAA history with 95 career touchdown passes, breaking school and ACC records ... also broke school and conference records for career passing attempts (1,710), pass completions (1,147), touchdown responsiblity (112), 300-yard passing games (18) and 400-yard passing games (7) ... started all 51 games of his four years and threw for at least 100 yards in every single game ... posted a 34-17 career record at quarterback ... first QB in ACC history, and the seventh in the history of the NCAA, to throw for 3,000 yards in three different seasons ... completed 110-161 passes in four bowl games for 1,202 yards, 10 TDs, 3 interceptions and rushed for 65 yards ... jersey number 17 was retired before last home game, Nov. 22, 2003 against Maryland ... graduated Dec. 18, 2003 with a degree in business.

how many times does rivers have to show that..

he gets the ball there.. i dont care what it looks like.

i wonder if a 2 year layoff will help hensons mechanics and accuracy?

[Billsouth]

here is the deal:

since he is longer playing baseball, he will turn his attention to football and cannot afford to sit out another year. therefore he will sign with whatever team drafts him this year. the closer we get to the draft the more likely houston will dump him, but it also means the less time to sign him.

i suspect he is looking for 2nd- 3rd round money.

he will be around in the 2nd round and maybe even the 3rd if he is not traded before

[HenryRules]

As long as Houston can get something for him, they will dump him ... they already have Carr and Ragone - they don't have room for Henson on their roster.

I beleive his Yankee deal has made him a millionaire already. He can't "afford" to sit out? I don't understand

This I beleive. In a weak draft where they were given tons of extra picks- they tossed one away on him. I would not be suprised if they deal hs draft rights for a late round pick if they can't sign him with a week or so to go before the draft. The team they deral him to might get something done- they might not.

If he enters this season's draft- he's a 4th rounder AT BEST


Bo Jackson went in the 6th round the second time around.

[eyedog]

2nd rounder at worst.
