I think the biggest barrier is that they have a commitment to finding a long term solution and he's not in the equation.

 

Too bad, because sometimes you need short term help while you're going through that process.

 

But then, I suppose there's also something to be said about sticking to principle and not getting sidetracked.  Like him or not one would think we've got Henne as a fallback and wouldn't have to learn the offense from scratch.

 

Really, what's the worst that would happen?  We sign him and we strike gold with a young QB, not ever needing him to play... nothing wrong with that.  I think for most people (but not all, obviously) his past is behind him.

 

In the end, I think they'll stick what they have as far as veteran presence but I'd hope they would consider other options.  I doubt anyone will be beating down Henne's door so he may be too cheap not to keep.
