Benson just got cut.
I'm making a pre-emptive strike against any "let's sign Cedric Benson" threads.
This guy sucks and he's nuts. He's like Ricky Williams, minus the talent!

good idea, but I doubt it works

I dont think anyone in their right mind would want Benson after the offseason he's had. Oh, and lets not forget the lack of production! -
looks like FH is back up
LOL

Try to stay on topic here, guys..

The hostility towards Benson is fairly baffling. He's ****ed up, but there's alot of guys in the league who have done so, to the point where it's pretty much impossible to have a roster free of them.
He hasnt lit the world on fire, and he's been a disappointment thus far, but his production has been on par with other, veteran players on his team.

Cedric Benson's production has been comparable on a year to year basis in two solid, veteran runningbacks(Adrian Peterson and Thomas Jones) in what is arguably a pretty ****ty situation for a runningback.
I think there's a fairly decent argument that Cedric Benson is solid depth, and might be worthwhile to take a flyer on if his legal problems check out. -
The problem with Benson is that he hasn't shown any flashes of being special. I could understand taking a flyer on a guy with some questionable (he may still be completely innocent) off-field stuff if you think he has special talent. Personally, I'd rather go with Parmele and I don't know anything about him other than he seems motivated and had a few nice highlights.

I remember back when he got drafted & started crying when Suzy Colber was interviewing him on ESPN. :cry:
I got a bad feeling about him then. He was 'sad' because the press kept comparing him to Ricky. If he had such an emotional reaction to that, I didn't see good things in his NFL future...
Did you see the mug shot? He's smiling like it's a publicity picture. :no::pointlol: -
Off-field incidents aside, the guy is worthless.
Cite all the stats you want, he is an unremarkable RB. I think its very fair to label him as a disappointment. -
Well the Bills might need him. What with Lynch doing sooooooo good.:wink2:
-
They're doing just fine and so is The Phins. Can we ever move on?
As for Benson, if a team comes to the excruciating conclusion that one of it's high 1st round picks is such a flop that they cut him, that's an incredible endorsement of his lack of talent. I wouldn't want anything to do with him.
I remember a following wanting Benson picked by us that year.
Thankfully that didn't happen. HIgh 1st round busts hamper a teams growth horribly.unluckyluciano, Firesole and calphin like this. -
What is the cap hit for letting Benson go?
