I wouldn't add him to this team any more than I'd add someone with an active case of leprosy and a staph infection.
Let him sign somewhere else and show he can be a law abiding human being for a couple of years and then the Skins can go after him when he becomes a free agent after this contract has run its course...

How does a DUI not reflect character?

I got a DUI when I was 21. We all screw up when we are young. However the drugs concern me. Plus he's been sitting around doing nothing for a year. I'd leave him alone.
He's had more problems beyond a DUI

I know this much. If one random Sunday (say after a Cowboys game), they tested every driver who left FedEx, They would hand out no less than 10,000 DWI's.
I am not sure how a DWI reflects on character. All a DWI proves is that you drink and that you are capable of bad decisions after you drink (there is a revelation). Almost every person that I know who drinks has been behind the wheel at least once when they shouldn't have.
If someone gets a DWI and then never gets behind the wheel after a drink, I would say that person has good character. If someone gets a DWI and continues to drink and drive that would reflect either poor character or an addiction.
As far as the "character" issue regarding players. I think it is overblown and hypocritical. If Sean Taylor beat somebody up this offseason I wouldn't give a damn. If you are a marginal player, your nose better be clean. If you are a freak of nature, nobody including Joe Gibbs or G. Williams, cares if you get in trouble a few times. Just show up on Sunday.
Someone may say, "Well, they suspended Taylor when he received a DWI". So what, I would argue that the spitting incident was a worse reflection on Taylor and the Redskins than a DWI arrest.

If cincy is going to cut him because of his off the field problems that translates into his not good enough to make up for his off the field behavior. I realize they want to clean up their image but they aren't going to be cutting C. Henry anytime soon.
If this was his first slip-up fine, but it's not his first problem. That's why he has character issues.
One mistake doesn't mean a guy has bad character, repeated mistakes of the same nature means you probably have some issues.
