Travis Henry wasted what Broncos coach Mike Shanahan had called a "second chance" when the team released him June 2. Now, his NFL career teeters on the brink after league sources confirmed Friday that Henry, now a free agent who can sign with any team, faces a year suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy in the weeks before the Broncos cut him.

The CFL has too much class for this jerk. Maybe he can latch on to an Arena team and hook up with Quincy Carter.

You know who I feel bad for? His kids. All 900 of them.

What a worthless **** this guy is, and always has been.

Ugh.....for the record....that word that got bleeped rhymed with slumbag....it wasn't a racial slur.

When you gots to toke, you gots to toke. There be worse things to get caught doing.

I keep telling everbody that reading the sports news has become like reading the metro city police blotter. I can't believe smoking a joint would become more important then making a six figure income. Oh well, walmart can alway's use someone to do heavy lifting...oh, forgot, you gotta pass a drug screen.....

it is time for fans to re-evaluate professional sports in America... they make too much money... and funny thing is that those guys making 9 million a year... will be playing with same passion for 500,000 a year... but is us fans who pay their salary regardless of what commitment they show for their career... look at Matt Jones taking a chance like that when his future was in a balance.... so mr Henry do not surprise me at all... let's destroy the NFL and reinvent it again with cheaper wages for the clowns entertaining us... money, greed, stupidy.... NFL is insane right now!!!

Why does history keep repeating itself? Ricky Williams>>>>Travis Henry..I wish these athletes get it together already..

July 12, 2008  03:47 PM ET

You know, it's so EASY...They SEE it happen to other players and they KNOW that they'll probably get tested...and if they been in trouble before WHY do they continue to DO it??? GO TO REHAB if you have an addiction...it works for hollywood!!! I could almost see if it's steroids, because they could at least try the excuse of performance enhancement but WEED, COCAINE, EVERY DAY drugs off the street. Just how STUPID are these guys???

yea he is dumb, but a 1 year suspention for weed is too much.

This isn't a first offense punishment. He's been caught multiple times. That's why it's a year.
