Re: Bears waive RB Benson after latest arrest

Not a surprise. Seems like another Pacman Jones in the making, good for the Bears at making a move and hopefully sending a signal to other would be screwups. Alot of these guys need to realize what a God given priveledge it is to be able to play a game for a very good living, all while securing a very lucrative future for themselves and countless family members.

LOL! It royally made my day hearing about this. I wish they would have held on to Thomas Jones for the last 2 seasons instead of this moron. But its the past over with now, they made a huge mistake with Benson.

Re: Bears waive RB Benson after latest arrest

Once again this falls into the whole Pacman Jones/Tank Johnson fiasco of last year. The media played a big role in this cut. Honestly, I wouldn't have cut him. I would of benched him or suspended him for the season. Let him rot on the bench where he belongs. I don't believe he'll have a good career, but I do believe he will play again this season, which is something I don't want to see. I'd rather swallow some pride and eat his pay while he rots on the bench, then cut him.

I really think that when Tank got in trouble for the umpteenth time last year, the Bears had nothing they could do but to cut him to show how strongly they feel about character. Now instead of doing the logical thing like suspending Benson, they jump on the "waiver" bandwagon and quickly waive him before the media jumps on the organization and declares the Bears as a team filled with "thugs".

I guess I'm happy that we cut Benson, but if I see him play this year, I may throw up a little.

Thank God he gave the Bears an excuse to dump him.

Forte in 2008.

Cedric "the bust" benson is finally gone oh well. So i guess kevin jones but he is injury prone and so is shaun alexander. Which is a better choice?

Re: Bears waive RB Benson after latest arrest

The guy is unreal, apologizing for making the wrong decision but claiming to be innocent...right.

Benson will unfortunately find work in the NFL with a team that needs a RB, but that all depends on if/when he gets suspended
