No team claims Benson off waivers
The rest of the NFL apparently agrees with the Bears regarding Cedric Benson. He just isn't worth the risk. The deadline for teams to claim Benson off waivers passed Thursday with none of the 31 other NFL teams interested in picking up the final two years of Benson's contract, a league source confirmed. Clearing waivers gives Benson the chance to sign with any team in the league, but that might be difficult to do with pending legal troubles that might lead to league discipline.

i wouldn't take benson for my upper central southern eastern brothers of the immaculate conception western university football team. one thing, he could sure teach everyone how to do a mean keg stand and play some beer pong.

I think Vick's prison team is looking for a RB. He'd probably fit in nicely....

He'll probably get signed.. for a year.. noone wanted the liability of a 2 yr contract.. some team will sign him with a contingency clause pending the legal or league issues.

HE GONE!! HE BE DONE!!!
What an f*ing idiot! He p*issed it all down the drain! I knew he was trouble when the Bears drafted him and he refused, holding out for more money! Unfortunately, the Bears gave him what he wanted. Big mistake! If they didn't, we wouldn't be talking about this dumb loser now!

Dallas will pick him up. He can room with Tank Johnson and the 2 Bears castoffs can catch up on old times again. Benson is a worthless piece of dog poop. I hope he never plays again in this league.

Maybe Cedric should call Barry Bonds for advice about being unwanted!

I have to give the Bears credit. Not many teams cut a first round pic. They always come up with some humanitarian reason for not doing the right thing. Some never do. Pacman and many others like him stay with a team until the league steps in at some point. You can say it was because he did not produce, but still, it was good to see the Bears take a stand.
