2. Will Travis Henry ever be traded by Buffalo?
Here's what we know: The much-discussed Henry-for-Arizona-offensive-tackle-L.J. Shelton swap is deader than dead. Truth be known, Bills decision-makers were never that high on Shelton to begin with, and once the deal didn't happen on draft day, it wasn't going to happen.

Bills general manager Tom Donahoe is sticking to his guns. He wants at least a third-round pick in exchange for Henry, who lost his starting running back job to second-year man Willis McGahee last season. But serious offers have been virtually non-existent, given the glut of talent available via trade at running back this offseason (Edgerrin James, Shaun Alexander, William Green, et al).

Bills general manager Tom Donahoe is sticking to his guns. He wants at least a third-round pick in exchange for Henry, who lost his starting running back job to second-year man Willis McGahee last season. But serious offers have been virtually non-existent, given the glut of talent available via trade at running back this offseason (Edgerrin James, Shaun Alexander, William Green, et al).

While some observers wouldn't be shocked if Henry returned to Buffalo for a full season of backup duty, the more likely scenario would be the Bills holding onto him until a top running back gets injured in the preseason and that team can rationalize giving up a 2006 third-round pick to fill that need.

Henry clearly has no leverage and few options. He hasn't attended the Bills' offseason workouts or their first minicamp, and he has incurred disciplinary action (probably fines) for those absences, since Buffalo has made it clear that he's still welcome and considered a part of the team. But Henry can't hold out, because that would only make it harder for the Bills to trade him, not easier.

For the most part, Henry has been a team player in Buffalo -- at least until McGahee started making inroads on the No. 1 job last season. But while Henry's trade demands have been a disruption this offseason, the situation has not yet reached the point of no return. Bills head coach Mike Mularkey no doubt would like to avoid having to deal with the disgruntled Henry being back in his locker room, but given the choice between getting nothing in return, or having an insurance policy behind McGahee, the Bills will opt for an uneasy peace.

Basically...he should just show up cause he ain't gonna be cut

Article basically states that Henry would only hurt himself by not playing for or practicing with the Bills.

So apparently Banks believes the situation HASN'T reached a point of no return? Personally, I think we're waaay beyond that point now. No way that Henry ever plays for the Bills ever again, or at least he's never going to play like he means it. I wonder what Banks means by that...could Henry actually dress this season and take a role as a backup?

unless we can get an acceptable deal, he'd pretty much have to

physically maybe. do you think he's actually going to do anything?

If he stops listening to his drunk agent... He's not going to get much from anyone else if he becomes a locker room problem

I like Henry as a backup for WM. I think he'll play well, in hopes of getting a decent deal in 2006.

I hope you are joking. This is way past the point of no return.

If we wait till pre season to move him and we have nobody interested then we cut him right before week 1. Atleast he won't be attending any camps and messing up things. Or being a locker room cancer..

Big deal we get a 2nd or 3rd.. Cut him & move on!!!
