Interest in Henry may be light for the next few weeks, but he seems likely to catch on eventually because of his Pro Bowl-caliber talent. The Cowboys, Browns, Jaguars, Raiders, and Broncos could take a look.

There were some positive reports about Williams in minicamps, but he was still overweight and didn't make any noise in July. He's got to be nearly out of chances, barring a miraculous change in attitude. Our recommendation for Williams' future? See if he can get those two years of eligibility at USC back.
