Early signs point to Benson being late
All signs are pointing to Benson sitting out much of the preseason. With the NFL rookie salary slotting nothing is going to happen on his contract till the others start to fall into place. It sounds like the bears may be pushing for a 6 year contract and that could be a problem for Benson.
This is great news for Thomas Jones owners and a bummer for Benson owners.
