There was talk the last two off-season's that he'd be a possible cut. I can't see being to concerned about a guy that amounts to second-string insurance.
The unproven RBs yes.
But Henderson is injury prone - he's a good starter when healthy but VERY unlikely to stay that way.
So we needed a backup pretty badly. Michel himself tends to get banged up, so hopefully between the two we end up with one starting caliber RB all year.
