Benson a Bengal

It's hard not to laugh, given they've become the gulag of problem children in the north (Dallas has it locked up in the south):

 

From Bengals public relations:

The Bengals today signed free agent HB Cedric Benson and placed HB DeDe Dorsey on the Reserve/Injured list. Dorsey, a third-year player from Lindenwood College, played in this season's first four games but suffered a hamstring injury last weekend against Cleveland.

Benson (5-11, 220; Texas) is a fourth-year NFL player. He was Chicago's first-round selection in the 2005 draft (fourth overall) after a Texas career that included 5540 rushing yards and the third-most touchdowns (64) in NCAA history.

Benson played in 35 games with 12 starts for the Bears from 2005-07, rushing for 1593 yards on 420 carries (3.8) with 10 TDs. He also had 26 receptions for 180 yards. He had an additional 104 rushing yards with a TD and 24 receiving yards in the 2006 postseason, as Chicago advanced to Super Bowl XLI against Indianapolis.

Last season, though missing five games with an injury, he posted career highs for rushing yards (674), receptions (17) and receiving yards (123). He started Games 1-11, but suffered a season-ending ankle injury on Nov. 25 vs. Denver and was placed Nov. 27 on Chicago's Reserve/Injured list.

That'd be nice

while we are dreaming how about a little Palmer and TJ?

Is Palmer a FA this year?

I'm not going to even bother trying to update this sig everyday anymore... that's what the standings column on ESPN is for.

I don't belive so

I think he is getting at if the Bengals explode and decide to just start over.

i was just making a speculation

based on the fact that palmer is entering his prime on a COMPLETELY dysfunctional team…..a team 2 years removed from the super bowl has to be an appealing destination and especially one thats as image conscious as us

But you know how the Bears are.. No money down for QBs
