ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) … Travis Henry is through playing
for the Buffalo Bills, prepared to sit out as long as it takes
the team to trade him, the running back said Monday.
"I'm definitely not going back to Buffalo if that's what you
want to hear," Henry told The Associated Press from his home in
Orlando, Fla. "No minicamps. No training camp. No nothing. ...
I packed my stuff and left. As soon as the season was over, I
was out of there and I didn't have any plans of coming back."
...
The Bills granted Henry permission in January to speak to
other teams about a potential trade. Of the teams that
expressed interest, Henry said the Arizona Cardinals have
offered to trade starting left tackle L.J. Shelton in a
player-for-player deal.
Henry doesn't understand why the Bills … in need of
offensive line help … haven't accepted the offer. Henry added
he's willing to play for Arizona, a team in need of a starting
running back since Emmitt Smith's retirement last month.
"The whole situation, it's really frustrating," Henry said.
"I just want to move on with my life and my career."
... Henry believes the Shelton trade would help both teams,
considering the Bills lost three offensive linemen to free
agency earlier this month, including starting left tackle Jonas
Jennings, who has since signed with San Francisco.
"They said they weren't just going to let me go. I
understand that," Henry said. "But here's a win-win situation.
... Arizona has shown interest. They've shown they're ready to
pull the trigger. And Donahoe is taking his poor little
precious time for some reason."
... What bothers Henry even more is how the Bills, last month,
granted Drew Bledsoe's request to be released after the
starting quarterback was unwilling to accept a secondary role
behind J.P. Losman. Bledsoe has since signed with Dallas.
"He wasn't going to be a backup and I ain't going to be no
backup," Henry said. "They shipped Drew out of there. I want to
be shipped out of there, point blank."
