I don't think he had much chance of ever getting reinstated but this seals it now. Guess he had to feed those 9 kids from 9 different women somehow.

DENVER -- Former Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry has been arrested following an alleged cocaine deal, the Drug Enforcement Administration said Wednesday.

Henry and James Mack were arrested a day earlier after the two met to buy cocaine from a person who was cooperating with authorities, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Mack and Henry were in federal custody on suspicion of knowingly and intentionally conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine. A preliminary hearing and detention hearing were scheduled for Monday.

It was not immediately known whether either man had an attorney. Harvey Steinberg, who has represented Henry in the past, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

The case has its roots in Montana, where a trooper and DEA agent stopped a car that was carrying six pounds of marijuana and about three kilograms of cocaine on Sept. 16, the affidavit said.

A passenger in the car, whose name was not disclosed in the affidavit, told authorities Mack and Henry had supplied him with the drugs, which he was supposed to deliver to customers in Billings. The man said he was supposed to be paid $5,000 for delivering the drugs and transporting about $63,600 in sales proceeds to Henry, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit indicated that separately, the passenger and another customer in Billings already owed Henry about $40,000 in drug proceeds. The passenger told authorities Henry had threatened him and his family over the debt.

The passenger agreed to cooperate with authorities and set up a drug deal Tuesday with Henry that led to the arrests of Mack and Henry, the affidavit said.

Broncos coach Mike Shanahan declined comment Wednesday, saying it wouldn't be fair to say anything until he knew the facts of the case.

Henry was released from the Broncos on June 2, when Shanahan said his commitment was lacking.

Holy crap. Child support to 12 kids with different moms must be expensive.

So how long does a responsible, upstanding young citizen like Henry have to wait until the Cowboys offer him a deal?

Merged.

What a terrible, terrible person.

Just a little perspective: he is now facing life in jail (probably end doing 10 years) and his monetary take for his involvement with this drug shipment was probably less then one game check from his last contract.
