I’m not to privy to rules and regulations surrounding the release of a player, but is there any way that the Bears can release Benson for his off-field antics without having to pay him? Let’s let Matt Forte, a man of great character and work ethic, get all the first team reps he can to prepare for the upcoming season.

but I’ve read he catches the ball well out of the backfield and has some of the best pass blocking skills out of any of the backs taken in the draft. With Kyle Grossman at QB, it’d be nice to have a solid pass blocking RB. Cedric was always weak in that area. Let’s see Forte in action before we say he isn’t that talented. He sure was productive in college where he WAS his team’s offense

Sit down with the rookie class and say “Look at Cedric Benson, this is not how to act off the field.”

This is a terrible situation that Benson’s put himself in but will the team that gave two arrests to Tank Johnson put Benson on a shorter leash? Johnson wasn’t released until after his third arrest after getting out of jail. So that would say the Bears could give yet another chance. Also Benson isn’t nearly the player Johnson was. However from reading all the articles and quotes I can it seems everyone’s patience is gone. I say by Tuesday we will know his fate. And that will be a pink slip and $3.5 mil cap hit. Good riddance.

Anywhere, but with the Bears. I don’t care about potential – he hasn’t come close to his. Rookie hold outs that don’t produce on the field suck! Send him packing. I don’t really care how he performs with some other team.

Why don’t we just get rid of Benson and sign Alexander. I know he is old but at least he has produced in his career. We just need time to get Forte to develop.

He is better than Benson.
