Donutrun Jellies Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Three years ago, SAlex, THenry, and Benson would be a fine backfield in the fantasy world ... now they are all essentially jobless. Where will each one land? Is Salex done? Travis headed to Columbia for fresher produce? Benson gonna go enjoy Molson in the CFL? Do any catch on in the NFL? Any of them have a chance for a starting position this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where will each one land? Benson - AA meetings Henry - Paternity Court Alexander - hmmm. . .I'm gonna say infomercials for some kind of walker or wheelchair.

Dr. Love Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Throw Kevin Jones into the mix, too. There is definitely a glut of capable RB out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Messiahs Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Throw Kevin Jones into the mix, too. There is definitely a glut of capable RB out there. Throw Graham (Bucs) into the list. I don't see him getting signed for the money he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Throw Graham (Bucs) into the list. I don't see him getting signed for the money he wants. Specially with Warrick on the roster, and Caddy's rehab going well enough for him to play at some point this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Graham will get a raise. Not close to what he wants, but he'll get a raise. All will be on rosters somewhere. I'm hearing grumblings about Kevin Jones working out for the Bears when he starts working out at the end of the month. The only one that may be done is Alexander. He is going to have to take such little money to play that his ego may keep him from playing. Benson still has enough upside to get a shot somewhere. Henry can still play and will help someone as well. I think we may be waiting for tweaks, injuries and holdouts to present themselves.

Savage Beatings Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Can probably add Lamont Jordan in with this group as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampnuts Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Arizona, Buffalo, Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, and St. Louis could all use some depth IMO. I think Benson and KJ are with teams before camp begins, Henry takes the best camp invite, and Alexander holds out for somebody to get injured and step into a starter's role.

MrTed46 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 KJ would be a good fit in Denver or Buffalo IMO Benson might get picked up but I doubt it....his character problems and his talent isnt worth a spot SA is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) This is not the year for a RB to be looking for a job. Too many talented rookies just came into the league. I doubt anyone takes a look at Benson without the DUI case being resolved and knowing what the league punishment will be. He's had two offseason run-ins. That could translate into a full lost season. It the "ain't no joke league". Henry is probably seen as too much of a conduct risk to get a job for more than a one year contract. And he is an injury risk. I'll be surprised if he gets a job. Alexander is headed to that great TV studio in the sky. KJ is the first to get a job IMO. An injury risk, yes, but he'd be a capable backup/compliment/change of pace RB. Chicago, Houston, Cleveland, Green Bay, New Orleans, Atlanta, Cincinnati might give him looks. Not much value there for this year though IMO as he won't get an every down gig except as an injury replacement.

I also think he'll re-emerge as a solid back before his career ends. I think Henry has a shot as a back-up, he has a lot of issues but the guy is tough. I think Alexander will come back if there is a serious injury in camps otherwise he'll be behind an anchor desk. I think Benson is done.

Seahawks21 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 There is absolutely no way that Benson is done. There are literally 100 guys in the league that are less talented than him that have been in more trouble. He will make peanuts, but he will get at least two more shots before he will be anywhere close to "done". This is the NFL. It is only one DUI and a BUI. It may take a few months, but he is way more talented than a lot of 3rd string RB's out there. He will get a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
