I don't believe were getting Henson

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

When Mort says it, it's usually a done deal, Clayton's predictions you can take with a grain of salt.

but why wouldnt we want henson? we had 5 staff members there to watch his work out, he did well, his price wont be high, its a gurenteed pick (rivers might not be there at 13) we can give him a few years to develop, hes still young with a TON of upside, etc

[elltrain22]

It sounds like we are going to get him to me

[Iehoshua]

with the 'Phins out of the derby by aquiring Feely, I really haven't heard of any other teams besides the Bills. If they want him, he'll be here....

[mypoorfriendme]

i think its worth the risk for a second rounder in 05

The only problem I have with henson is if we give him a 2-3 years he will be 26 or 27 my question is how long will we have him before we start looking for another QB of the future. When we could go with rivers and by the time he starts he will be around for years.

[TedMock]

That's fine. 26-27 only means more maturity (hopefully) plus it's young enough to still get a good 5-7 years as our starter. Obviously this is all determined on whether or not he has "it". Keep your fingers crossed. I understand most of the arguments against getting him but the one I don't get is "We don't want a baseball player". How stupid is that? Obviously he's not a baseball player, that's why he flunked that test. I personally don't care if baseball's his 1st love, there are a lot of guys who play well and football's not their first love. Eric Moulds makes no secret about the fact that basketball's his first love, neither does T.O. They both seem to do okay.

[NC-BILLS44]

Hopefully, TD this is just a smoke screen to make everyone think they're after Henson, when they're actually after Rivers.

[elltrain22]

NC -Bills44 makes a great point. I haven't even thought about that, but that idea does have alot of validity. Either way, Rivers or Henson would be a nice qb to have.

I'd wait until april. Just before the deadline offer Texas a #4 next season- see if they take it.

In this situation what matters more if the Texans will take the deal or if Drew Henson will take the deal. I think the Texans are just happy they are turning a 6th round pick into a higher pick but Henson's agent could squeeze the team he is traded to for a lot of money.

TD won't be squeezed besides i'm sure a tenative deal would be reached when he is traded to Bills with the the agent.

[TigerJ]

The cloud hanging over this deal has never been about the draft choice which isn't a huge deal for a player with Henson's potential. The cloud consists of the NFL restrictions which will make it nearly impossible to do a deal with Henson that gives him the kind of money he wants while protecting the Bills from the possibility Henson will be a bust, and doing it in a way that does not blow u p Houston's 2004 cap numbers.

I can't see TD dealing for Henson until there is a contract in place that TD agrees to.

yeah.. for all the teams that were supposedly so hot on henson.. it seems like this could turn out like bledsoe.. the bills competeing only with themselves for him.. i would wait till the last second too, so that you have to give up as little as possible.. because the texans would be concerned about just losing him back to the draft.

yeah, there is no way he would.. if we get the news flash that henson is a bill, the deal has already been agreed to.
