RVJ Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Last week, the Bucs called the Bills to inquire about running back Travis Henry, who has demanded a trade. The Cardinals are believed to still be a front-runner for Henry's services; on the NFL Network Thursday coach Dennis Green said there still was life to the trade. Henry has been linked to the Eagles, who reportedly offered a second-round pick for him, the Dayton Daily News reported. http://www.sptimes.com/2005/04/22/Sports/Rumor_mill.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 If it's the pick they have high in the 2nd, I would do that in a second. Looks like plenty of good value late in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 If its true, I'd guess that they probably offered the 63rd overall pick, which still isn't bad at all. I would have been tempted to just take it. That said, I can't blame Donahoe for holding out a little bit longer. Perhaps if the Bills were to tack on a little extra, they might be able to get the 35th (or even 31st) overall pick, a scenario I detailed in the mock draft I posted this morning (with the Bills adding a 3rd next year to get pick 35).

BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 No reason for TD not to wait until Draft Day now...we got three teams actively going after Henry, and he's waiting to see if one of them will panic and up their offer. At this point, waiting another day is a very smart thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as TD says,we cant give him away for nothing and I for one dont want to see it all fall apart in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVJ Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Even if he isn't traded. He would be good insurance if McGahee got hurt in preseason. And someones top RB will get hurt this preseason...And a trade in next years draft will be just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
