The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Report: Cedric Benson arrested for assault For the most part, the NFL has avoided a run of players getting in trouble with the law while not under team supervision. (Kenny Britt being the exception of course.) The report, however, that Cedric Benson was arrested in Austin, Texas, early Sunday morning won't help that cause. Your News Now in Austin reports Benson was arrested "early [sunday] morning" and charged with "assault on a family member." Per Doyle, Benson is currently in Travis County Jail and is facing a Class A misdemeanor. Benson will be an unrestricted free agent (assuming a reversion to old CBA rules) in 2011, and there's was a good chance that he could land a nice contract because of the market's demand for running backs.This reported arrest -- along with the fact that Benson has a previous assault charge from June 2010, in Austin -- won't do much to boost his value.And depending on what we learn about the incident and on whether commissioner Roger Goodell and the league can enforce the personal conduct policy while the players are locked out, Benson could end up facing a suspension, something he miraculously avoided the last time he was arrested for assault.For more NFL news, rumors and analysis, follow @cbssportsnfl on Twitter and subscribe to our RSS Feed.

The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Its not an NFL offseason unless 10 Bengal players spend a night in jail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofEuphoria Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Guilty as charged. And he should begin serving a one year sentence on the worst Bengals team in NFL history.It's gotta be worse than jail.

kschreck Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Forget bengal stripes, they need to use jail bars as their new logo. It would be very fitting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Cedric Benson left Chicago with some baggage about his attitude and work ethic. This is a shame because he had ressurected his career in Cincinnati. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyhateme : ) Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 This board seems to be obsessed with an arrest of an NFL player(especially when the player is an African-American). What does Benson's arrest have to do with the Atlanta Falcons??? -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyHighFalcons Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I don't understand how one team can have so many idiots.The sad thing is the player with the worst reputation on the entire team is Ochocinco and he's never been in trouble off the field.

The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Nothing to get bent out of shape over. Its offseason, lockout, slow times. Not much to talk about. I prefixed the thread title with "NFL" so it would be more clear that its random NFL news before you wasted your time clicking on it.

falconfanatic365 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Ahh... A good cat fight always helps to pass the time. At least until the lock out is lifted. I just wish we had video. I have a feeling a youtube video is soon to follow.... Edited July 18, 2011 by falconfanatic365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
