Bears | Benson Given Final Offer
Thu, 18 Aug 2005 15:05:04 -0700
The Associated Press reports the Chicago Bears say they have given rookie RB Cedric Benson a final contract offer. "After missing all of training camp, we want to make it abundantly clear that the Chicago Bears have made their best and final offer to Cedric Benson," Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said in a statement released by the team. "No dollars are left on the bargaining table and at this point the only contract discussions that will be entertained will be reflective of the considerable loss of value to the club created by the players' extended absence," the statement said.
This really doesn't look good for the Bears. If nothing gets done within a week, then Benson could enter next years draft.
