DENVER -- Fox 31 News has learned that Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry, the team's leading rusher, has tested positive for marijuana use and could be subject to a one-year suspension.

Henry, 28, previously served a four-game suspension from the National Football League for violating the leagues substance abuse policy in September 2005 as a member of the Tennessee Titans.

Henry can appeal the latest violation. However, if the appeal is denied, he will begin serving a one-year suspension immediately.

Henry can file for reinstatement 60 days prior to the end of the suspension.

The Denver Broncos had no official comment, instead, deferring to the NFL.

The Broncos signed Travis Henry in the off-season to a five-year, $22.5 million contract with $12 million in guarantees

Agreed.

[peewee's lovechild]

He and Steven Jackson have killed my fantasy team.

[peewee's lovechild]

Not to mention Marc Bulger and Andre Johnson.

[leemajors]

i wonder how many times selvin will fumble.

[johnsmith]

That's about right.

[johnsmith]

On a different note tough, at least Henry is sporting a 9:1 Illigitimate Child to Touchdown ratio.

[sa_butta]

When will he start the suspension? My other RBs are on byes this week, I need him to play this week and then he can go fuck himself.I have a similar problem myself. But I think he is on my cant cut list. Who the f*ck puts Travis Henry on a cant cut list. BASTARD.
At least I have 5 backs. And Stephen Jackson is killing me too.

I feel you, brother.

If Henry's suspended, I got no RB until Jackson comes back.

[mardigan]

He and Steven Jackson have killed my fantasy team.
How's that? He's leading the league in rushing

[peewee's lovechild]

How's that? He's leading the league in rushing

He's missing his second game and he hasn't given me much in TD points.

[mardigan]

He's missing his second game and he hasn't given me much in TD points.
Yea, the tds havent been there, but Ill take his yards with all the other "stud" rb's this year not doing much. I also read that he will probably be able to play while all this legal stuff is going on

[mikejones99]

9 kids by 9 different whores. Goddam he needs to buy more condoms or convert with kitna's team of fools.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Time for Selvin Young to get some more reps brahhhhhhhhh

[Horry For 3!]

Actually it is going to be pending. If he does get suspended, it won't be for another 5-6 weeks.

[leemajors]

Time for Selvin Young to get some more reps brahhhhhhhhh
fumble!

[Dro210]

lol... i'm with the rest of yall... i've got 2 good backs, but we've got a utility spot in our league where you can play either a RB or a WR in... it's a 16 team league, so depth is a problem... I scooped Derrick Ward and have been playing him there and liking the results, but with Jacobs coming back... I'm counting the days til Henry is suspended so I can put Selvin in that spot

I've got Michael Turner too... so an LT injury (as long as it's not lingering or career threatening, cause I love the guy) or suspension wouldn't hurt either

Broncos release Henry after one disappointing season
ESPN.com news services

Updated: June 2, 2008, 3:47 PM ET


Big expectations in Denver for Travis Henry ended Monday when the Broncos released the running back one season into his five-year free-agent deal.

"Although Travis has the ability to be one of the top running backs in the NFL, we have to make decisions that are in the best interests of our organization and its goal of winning a Super Bowl," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said in a statement. "We did not feel his commitment to the Broncos was enough to warrant a spot on this football team."

Henry, who was signed by the Broncos as a free agent in March 2007, rushed for 691 yards on 167 carries with four touchdowns in 12 games in his only season with the team.

Henry, who suffered a hamstring injury last month while running sprints, has been slow to heal and the team did not expect him to return to offseason workouts until this week. Still, the addition last week of former Buccaneers running back Michael Pittman indicated Henry wasn't going to be a major factor in Denver's plans in 2008.

Henry signed a five-year, $22.5 million deal in 2007 and was considered to be the running back who would be the perfect fit for Shanahan's running offense. Included in the deal was a $6 million signing bonus. Henry restructured his contract after the season and took more than $11 million in pay reductions.

The move put his contract in very simple terms: He was making $1 million a year in base and $100,000 annually in workout bonuses. Financially, the Broncos had him as a starting running back at backup money. But apparently, Henry's off-the-field issues outweighed the finances and he was released.

Henry led the league in rushing after the first month of the '07 season before leg injuries and off-the-field troubles took their toll. He spent several weeks fighting the NFL over a failed drug test that would have carried a one-year ban, and he never recovered from knee injuries as the Broncos missed the playoffs with a 7-9 record.

Selvin Young, Andre Hall and rookie Ryan Torain were getting extra carries in Henry's absence.

In seven seasons with the Broncos, Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills, Henry has three 1,000-yard seasons to his credit, 6,086 career rushing yards and 40 touchdowns. Henry was a Pro Bowl selection in 2002 when he rushed for 1,438 yards and 13 touchdowns for Buffalo.

At least Travis will have more time to spend with his kids ...

[Sigz]

He sucks. I'm glad he's gone.

[FlavoredIcecream]

What a fucking cocksucking Jew!

[TheTruth]

Good Riddance. I was so excited that we signed him, but he turned out to be a big time douchebag.

[jack sommerset]

Bears should sign him. Bears are cheap (get him 4 nothing) and Cedric needs a co running back.

Bears kept that scrub Rex Grossman and didnt upgrade their qb situation.They need more than just a backup runningback.
