Cedric Benson was placed on waivers, and no one bothered to pick him up. This makes him an unrestricted free agent (no, you cannot pick him up for SFL Season 2.0). Since his most recent drunk driving arrest occurred after June 1, the NFL is expected to come down hard on Mr. Benson, in the form of suspension and/or fines.
Speaking of suspensions, former Bengals WR Chris Henry was suspended indefinitely due to the violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. Henry was cut by the team after charges of diorderly conduct (I think, correct me if I'm wrong), among other things in April of this year.
Speaking of Bengals, WR Chad Johnson was present at mini-camp on Thursday, but did not participate due to a sore ankle. He took part in some drills on Friday, but did not participate in full practice. Ocho Cinco is looking for a new contract, and if he doesn't get a new contract, he wants to be traded. The Bengals have repeatedly stated that they will not trade Chad Johnson. And the drama begins. More than likely Chad will play come Sptember, because the fines for not being in camp or at a game is fairly steep. **Update**: Chad Johnson says he is "happy now, and has nothing to be mad about...". My spin: Tune in next week as Chad gets mad about something else.
A couple of retirements you might have heard about: DE Michael Strahan of the Giants, and OT Jonathan Ogden of the Ravens. The Hall Of Fame class of 2013 is gonna be a good one...Strahan, Favre (assuming he doesnt un-retire), Ogden, Warren Sapp, and Larry Allen.
