Bengals bungle Henry signing

It’s official. NFL teams don’t care who you are or what you’ve done. As long as you can help us win, we’ll give you a second chance. Or a third. Or even a fourth.Over the strenuous objections of head coach Marvin Lewis, the Cincinnati Bengals have re-signed wide receiver Chris Henry, something they’d said they’d  never do again. Since being drafted by the Bengals in 2005, Henry has been arrested five times and suspended three times by the NFL. Now, he’s back.Bengals’ star receivers Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh have been beset by injuries during training camp, and their backups have struggled. After a mistrial was declared in Henry’s latest court saga, dismissing charges that he assaulted a college student, team owner Mike Brown signed Henry against his coach’s wishes.Not only does this grossly undermine the authority of the head coach, the Bengals have furthered the trend of having need for talent beat out a desire to employ up-standing citizens. What happens the next time he gets in trouble?This is a disgusting development.
