A friend of mine (not in my league) has Cedric Benson and has been offered Selvin Young for Benson. The catch is, he has to decide now before Henry's suspension is official.

Wanted to see what you guys think... would you trade Benson right now for Young without knowing for sure Henry's status?

The N.F.L source who broke the news to Fox31’s Josina Anderson that starting Bronco running back Travis Henry tested positive for marijuana, and is subject to a one year suspension now...had this to say in a short interview this morning:

Source: “Initially when Henry found out he tested positive for marijuana, and the league was trying to confirm the result with the testing of the B bottle, Henry had his own toxicologist set to witness the testing.” “The problem is Josina, Henry’s toxicologist had an affiliation with another lab, and the league doesn’t like that.” Henry’s toxicologist had a proprietary interest in the lab the league was testing his b sample in.” “That’s when Henry’s people tried to get the restraining order [September 20th] to block the league from moving forward when his original toxicologist was rejected.” “Now although the Suffolk Court [Suffolk County Supreme Court] granted Henry a restraining order against the league until a future hearing, to my knowledge the league went ahead and tested the B sample anyways even though another court ended up ruling in their favor.” “But Josina, Henry may get out of this because it is his collective bargaining agreement right to have his on toxicologist present, and now Henry can challenge that his sample was compromised.”

Josina: Since it’s not about what you know, it’s about what you can prove, how can Henry prove that the League tested his B sample without his toxicologist present?

Source: “Henry can say well who was my Toxicologist then…name him…show me a check that I used to pay my Toxicologist!”

Josina: So what’s going to happen here?

Source: “Well if your report didn’t come out, it’s possible the League knowing it has issues with the testing of the sample may have tried to bargain down with Henry and offer a 4 game or a 6 game suspension or something like that who knows!” “But, this could now be an all [1 year suspension] or nothing case with this technicality.” “But if the league can find a way to enforce this they will.” “It’s bad P.R. to let a player continue to play under these circumstances.”

Josina: Do you think the Commissioner [N.F.L Commissioner Roger Goodell] will find a way to circumvent this technicality?”

Source: “He shouldn’t the rules are pretty black and white on this.”

Reporter note: It is being reported now by a national website that Henry was scheduled to rotate out of the N.F.L’s program October 1st under their two year policy. In actuality it is possible for a player that’s in stage 3 of the program [that Henry moved into after his previous 4 game suspension in September of 2005 as a Tennessee Titan] to stay there for the life of their career. So it’s not always a guarantee that a player will or would have rotated out. There are subjective decisions that are made on the cases of players in the league program situation by situation that factor in as well.

Yes, I'd trade Benson for Young without knowing Henry's status - I know Benson's status. He stinks.
