Benson accepted a two-year deal from the Bengals, who liked what he did late last season and wanted him to stay as their top runnins back. S1gning Benson became a big priority for the league's lowest-rated offense after right tackle Stacy Andrews and top receiver TJ. Houshmandzadeh turned down offers to stay. Andrews signed with the Eagles, and Houshmandzadeh chose to play for the Seahawks. Cincinnati also lost backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to Buffalo. Benson visited the Houston Texans on Monday, but chose to stay with the Bengals in part because they offered him a chance to start. The Texans were looking for someone to back up Steve Slaton, who ran for 1.282 yards and nine touchdowns last season. · Benson was one of the few bright spots on offense for a team that went 4-11 -1 last season. The 26-yeur-old running back will be the centerpiece of ari offense that's being overhauled to concentrate more on the running game . . Benson was Chicago's first-round pick and the fourth overall in the 2005 draft, but didn't ~out and was released following two arrests m Texas involving alcohol. The cases were dropped in September when grand juries dectded not to indict Benson, who was out of · football. · With their group of running backs thinned by injury, the Bengals signed him to a oneyear deal on Sept. 30. He quickly moved ahead of Chris Perry for the slatting role, and rushed for more th'lll 100 yards in three of the last four games. · "Cedric was recognized as an · elite talent coming out of college,'' coach Marvin Lewis said Tuesday. "His years in Chicago weren't what he hoped for, but he was able to give us a lift on the field and be a great presence in the . locker-room. He earned everyone ·s respect, and we're excited to let him continue to grow in our system." Benson finished the season with 747 yards on 214 carries. He also cau~ht 20 passes for 185 yards. He had the team s longest run (46 yards) and longest reception (79 yards). · With Benson's signing. the Bengals ;viii be Boscom Hopeweii·L~ OS, Anica Seneca E.45 S.Jiin Center Weshtrn Reserve 64, OHIO ~S> Cln.
