Meachem signed

I'm sorry, I should have posted the entire reply. Here it is:

"Devery was signed by the Redskins last offseason. Before the start of training camp, Devery's dad passed away. Mike Shanahan gave Devery time off to attend his father's services & to grieve as well. Once he did make it to camp, he was a few pounds over weight & not in great shape. His head & heart wasn't into football either. Shanahan cut him before camp even ended in order to give Henderson the opportunity to catch on elsewhere but Devery is pretty content with how his career played out. He's set financially & takes pride that he never suffered any major injuries. The Saints as well as a few other teams reached out to him during last season but he wasn't interested."

This was on the WhoDatZone.com about Devery Henderson.

I never knew that... Thanks for posting it. I was kind of curious what happened to Devery and why we brought Meachem back and not him.

The guy I sit next to at games was Henderson's track coach and said Henderson had a lot of personal issues. Some guys walk away happy; some can't give it up
