rattsass Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Interesting timing in this thing. I just last week offered to basically give away Peterson for an '09 third round rookie draft pick in my dynasty. The guy was a Benson owner - thought he might want some insurance. He declined. I will probably not offer that deal again. Edited June 9, 2008 by rattsass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF409ers Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (KFFL) ESPNews reports the Chicago Bears waived RB Cedric Benson following his second arrest in less than five weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Not arguing that Forte will be the starter, but Peterson put up some pretty solid numbers last season starting in place of Benson. Yeah but he isn't a great talent. They should work this out in TC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampnuts Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Cardinals could use a back. Edge is on the definate downside, they've got an improved line and a solid coach in Whisenhunt. It could be a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Almost glad Walter isn't here to see this. He doesn't even show up. I hope they can get some of their money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Ryan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Tenn has a load of backs, but none of them are worth a crap. Vince could probably get Cedric a workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Maybe the Bears will trade Matt Forte to the Jets to reacquire Thomas Jones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Whomever might be looking to grab Benson off the WW had better factor in a likely suspension. Between his issues & his lack of production, any NFL owner/GM would be taking a gargantuan leap (maybe close to Ricky Williams proportions) in risking signing him.

Bronco Billy Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) So you're saying he's going to Dallas? Yeah, they need more RBs using up cap space. Although if he did go to Dallas, his likelihood of suspension would be reduced dramatically... Edited June 9, 2008 by Bronco Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWmaker Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 [Looks like our man Matt Forte won't be under the radar any longer. The Bears cut loose troubled RB Cedric Benson this afternoon. Link: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3434053 Clipped from the John Clayton article: Chicago RB Cedric Benson, whose relationship with the team soured further because of his second arrest in little more than a month Saturday, was waived by the team on Monday, sources told ESPN.com's John Clayton. Before his release, Benson made one last ditch effort to repair the situation, issuing an apology on Monday afternoon. "I apologize for making the poor decision to drink and drive during the early morning of Saturday, June 7th," he said in a statement. "Given the incident last month, it was a particularly bad decision. I have no excuse for this lack of judgment. Though I strongly believe that I am not guilty of any crime, I realize that the public and the Bears organization hold me to higher standard. Though my local attorneys will continue to work hard to prove my innocence, I confess to using poor judgment. Please accept my deepest apology." The Bears released the running back shortly thereafter.] Duh......apologizing for drinking and driving but strongly believes he's not guilty of any crime..........what a bum.

Jackass Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Duh......apologizing for drinking and driving but strongly believes he's not guilty of any crime..........what a bum. I agree that sounds retarded, but he could have had a one or two beers before driving which is not a crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Benson is definitely going to the Raiders. Any other year - I'd absolutely agree. This year their backfield is wayyyy too crowded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Al Davis. I don't think so. He usually goes for players that at one time could actually play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
