Memphis WR Chris Henry has died

Sad news today, as it has been pronounced that Memphis Kings Wide Receiver Chris Henry has died at the age of 26 after suffering life-threatening injuries from falling out of the back of a pick-up truck yesterday. Henry was also a member of the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals.

Despite the hard times the Kings will go through, they will have to sign a new Wide Reciever to replace him. Co-Commish Michael Harbison said "We are trying to come up with a list of guys who match his talent(Rating) that the Kings can look at, they may can replace him as a player but not as the person and teammate he was."

The Kings have gotten off to a bumpy start after having high expectations for the season. After a heartbreaking season opener loss to Alabama, the Kings were upset by the Quebec in their last game. Now they will have to look for a new win and a new receiver.

Henry was known for being a trouble maker in the NFL after being arrested 5 times, but the Bengals gave him another chance and he seemed to be staying out of trouble ever since. He had 5 receptions for 102 yards this season for the Kings and was the team's 2nd leading receiver behind David Boston.

I was wondering what was gonna happen with this.

It was kind of a joke Beast....like he meant to put him on our IR.

Anyways We have come up with a list of some big names who all would be rated 82, the rest will likely be in the Draft next year:

Marvin Harrison (Former Colts Superstar, old)
Charles Rogers (Former NFL #2 Overall Draft pick, and Biletnikoff Award winner, also a pot-head)
Matt Jones (Former Jaguars 1st Round Draft pick, also a pot-head)
David Tyree (Giant's Super bowl Star)
Mike Hass (Former Biletnikoff Winner, and Oregon State star, not a pot head)

As far as two of them being pot-smokers, only Charles Rogers would be a threat to be suspended I think, because he has stated he does it everyday, but I dont think either will get arrested so if you want one of them you will be fine.
