Online Casino Says Cedric Benson Could Land in Denver

Posted Wed Jun 11th by

Cedric Benson

Running back Cedric Benson was just released by the Bears earlier in the week, and some around the Internet have speculated that Benson could find himself in Denver.  The reasoning somewhat makes sense: the Broncos haven’t been afraid to take chances on under-performing free agents they had graded high coming out of college (see Keary Colbert).  To outsiders, it appears they have a need at running back.  The Broncos have overlooked character concerns often as well.

It appears Vegas has taken notice, with BodogLife.com setting odds for Benson’s next team.  The Pats are the 2/1 odds-on favorite.  The Broncos aren’t too far behind at 4/1.

So far there has been no interest being mentioned from the Denver media from practice.

I, for one, want absolutely no part whatsoever in Ced Benson.  The guy is awful, on and off the field. 

Thankfully, I don’t think the Broncos are interested either.

    that bodog page is cool. ryan torain isn’t listed as ROTY candidate. if i was a betting man i might just bet against the field and make some money.

    i know nothing about gambling. Can i do that?

    it’ll never happen. if we wanted a problem child, we’d have kept Henry- he’s a better rb too.

    azbronco7: You can only make bets that the casino will give odds on. So if you can convince them to give you an odds on it and take the bet, sure. But probably only someone with a history gets to tell them who they make bets for.

    I’m a little curious about Benson. Academically, at least. The DUIs are really offputting, and his inability to perform for the Bears has been an odd question. (Why the Bears gave up Thomas Jones is totally beyond me). But the guy did amazing in college and it’s weird, to me, that it didn’t translate to the NFL.

    But I also don’t think we need another RB to compete. I think we’re pretty set, for the moment.

    Hey fellas, remember our little talk last week about the Raiders cultivating the bad boy image? What have you got to say about this rumor??? Jon I said media rumors were the cause and you said I don’t know my team? Now your talking rumors, wow shoes on the other foot.

    Thankfully he joined the Bengals, so we can all rest a little easier. Although to be fair to the guy, he's having a pretty good season now.
