Cedric Benson: Pack, Jets have 'checked in' Free agent Cedric Benson revealed Tuesday that the Packers have joined the Raiders in "checking" on his status this summer.
Benson also indicated the Jets touched base "way earlier" in the summer. Out of touch with his market value entering his age-29 season, Benson "made it pretty clear" to SiriusXM radio's Adam Schein that he's holding out for more than the veteran minimum salary. Unless the Seahawks get desperate in the wake of Marshawn Lynch's DUI arrest, he's not going to get his wish. The Packers' interest is proof that the team hasn't closed the door on a veteran backfield addition. Source: Adam Schein on Twitter Jul 17 - 2:41 PM

I think they'd be better off re-signing Grant.

Packers will probably not sign either, barring injury. But Benson has more upside than Grant on the field; but presents that potential for off the field stupidity.

I find it odd that nobody has even looked at him.

That would automatically make Benson the top back in the North.

Assuming Peterson doesn't recover, Forte regresses?

It was a joke. Kinda like Benson himself in a Packer uniform. Doesn't seem like a fit at all.

The Lions did.
