Well, the Dallas Cowboys might soon have a new receiver.

Chris Henry, who was suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for the first eight games of the 2007 season due to multiple run-ins with the law, has been cut by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Said Bengals president Mike Brown in a team-issued statement:  “Chris Henry has forfeited his opportunity to pursue a career with the Bengals.  His conduct can no longer be tolerated.

“The Bengals tried for an extended period of time to support Chris and his potentially bright career.   We had hoped to guide him toward an appropriate standard of personal responsibility that this community would support and that would allow him to play in the NFL.  We acknowledge those fans who had concerns about Chris; at the same time we tried to help a young man.

“But those efforts end today, as we move on with what is best for our team.”

Henry was taken into custody early Thursday after being charged with assault.  Under the rules of Turd Watch II, the Bengals will not receive any points as a result of the arrest, since they cut him within a week after the cuffing and fingerprinting.

Meanwhile, we wonder whether disgruntled Bengals receiver Chad Johnson is now contemplating a mini-crime spree.
