    [float][​IMG][/float] Here’s something we didn’t think we’d be writing about on Monday morning.

    According to Adam Caplan of Sirius XM Radio and TheSidelineView.com, former NFL running back Travis Henry is trying to make a comeback for the 2012 season. Henry was last seen when he received a three-year federal prison sentence for his role in a drug trafficking organization in 2009, a sentence that has now come to an end and one that apparently left Henry feeling like he could make a return to professional football.

    It’s fair to wonder if Henry wasn’t using some of his own supply when he came up with that plan.

    Henry turns 34 in October and has plenty of baggage that isn’t related to that prison term. Henry was suspended for a year by the league in 2008 because of positive marijuana tests and he fathered at least 11 children with 10 different women, leading to a lot of issues with child support payments during his playing career. Those needs haven’t gone away, which likely leaves Henry in need of money but, again, it is hard to see a team opting for Henry when younger backs who haven’t spent the last few years in prison are available.

    Henry ran for 6,086 yards and 38 touchdowns during his seven years with the Bills, Titans and Broncos.

    If Michael Vick can stay sharp as a QB after 2 years in prison, then I think Travis Henry has a shot at coming back.

    I HIGHLY doubt Munchak even considers Henry, but I loved watching him play in TN.

    Henry was AWESOME here. he really was.

    But Vick was still in his prime when he went to jail, and QBs generally have a longer shelf life.

    Henry's career was already pretty much over when he got locked up. I wish he still had some gas left.

    The fact that he hasn't played in 4 years is what really hurts him.

    Best stiff arm I've ever seen, wish he wasn't so old.
