365 Days of Fantasy Football – Because There Is No Offseason

Cedric Benson Could Get Cut Soon…

Remember former Bears DT Tank Johnson? Cedric Benson could be headed down the same path. Johnson was released by the Bears a couple years back after multiple run-ins with the law. Now, Benson is in a similar spot after his second arrest in a 30 day span. Bears GM Jerry Angelo is extremely baffled by Benson’s behavior, and feels betrayed. Rumor is that Angelo may make the decision to cut Benson today.

The former University of Texas running back has been extremely disappointing since becoming the fourth overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. Benson’s career high in seasonal rushing yards in only 674 and his career YPC average is only 3.8, but if he’s released, some other NFL team will give him a chance. The Cowboys, perhaps? After all, that’s where Johnson is now.
