I think you guys are overreacting.
Who here has never celebrated Mother's Day with you mother on Lake Travis (at Devil's Cove) smoking a joint with a bunch of girls in bikinis?
C'mon.
Looks like the Bengals have increased their offer to Benson.

HOUSTON - Free agent runningback Cedric Benson has decided to return to the Cincinnati Bengals. FOX 26 Sports has learned Benson has agreed to a two-year deal with the Bengals
(in a whiny teenager voice) "But DAD!"
Dad: "Shut your trap, son. I said you'll only get your Benson if it's a good deal. We looked into it, and it's not going to happen. And that's the end of it."
Teenager: "Cincinatti got THEM a Benson! We'll never have someone with street cred. Sometimes I wish we even had a Mathis or a Pacman"
Dad: "Oh, is that right? Well maybe you should just go live with Al Davis or Uncle Jerry. maybe that would make you happy!"
Teenager: "MAYBE I WILL!"
(doors slamming)
Oh, the old Free Agent Shuffle: Houston Mix, eh?
First step: Become a free agent
Second step: Get on a plane
Third step: Fly to Houston
And finish with a big RE-SIGN with your current team!
Now you're doing the Free Agent Shuffle: Houston Mix!
He didn't sign with the Texans?? Oh well, the guy was a drunken, pot smokin thug anyway.

Blunt? (Jedi mind thinggy). What Blunt? + he was opening the beer FOR mom. And that blond in the white bikini in the back ground could be my next ex-wife and I'll guarantee her a contract that she will not have to open beers or even cook for that matter. Oh, wait my boat is now a jet ski. At least it is a 3 person ride.What about the blunt in his right hand ?
Yay, we can put this to bed for two more seasons.

Cedric was offered 2-years 5.5 from the Texans
He took the 2-7.0 from Cinci.

Winnah!
Thanks man, coffee all over now..
It looks like he used the Texans interest to leverage a bigger deal with the Bengals. Probably never wanted to come in behind Slaton to begin with.I am not surprised. He wanted money and playing time. We offered less of both.
An opportunity missed; a hole yet to fill.
If the Texans think he is worth $5.5M now, they missed a golden opportunity last season. Typically in mid year pick-ups like that a team would pay the player a little bit to finish the year, and then have the next year in the contract at a reasonable price, say a one or two million for Cedric. He probably would have signed that, and it still would have been at little risk to the team. Since NFL contracts aren't guaranteed they could have cut him for free after last season had he acted up.
Backup running back and short yardage pounder may seem a small thing, but small things are what add up to get teams over the hump.

Well he may not have been able to show what he could do here like he got to in Cincy and he would've only had a one year deal. Whose to say he wouldn't have jetted on us?
