Saw Benson's mug shot in your post... not a pretty picture, but (in my non-professional opinion) I don't think any of these charges will stick to Benson.
Me neither, which is why I wrote of any mention of Benson and the Texans as a rumor at this point.
It actually would not surprise me either if the Texans had some informal conversations with Shaun Alexander's agent -- just speculation here. The Texans have not been talked about in conjunction with Kevin Jones since his release, but I don't think Jones fits the same profile of what they'd be looking for like they might find in either Benson or Alexander.
Just something to keep an eye on here for now. No need for any of these guys to sign this far out from the start of camp. I would expect the music to stop by around the first of August though with all three of these guys under some sort of NFL contract. |
In my professional opinion, if Benson's lawyer is worth anything and the public facts are roughly correct, those cases against him would be hard to make.
I'm not sure that Alexander fits the profile of what the Texans are looking for--I think the old, injured back spot is taken already. I mean, if you look on the outside of Ahman Green, he looks like a specimen. And he certainly has vision, like an Alexander has.
Its the parts of 30+ year old backs that you can't see that is the concern. I put Green in the gravy category for the Texans--I'm not counting on him to do anything, and if he sticks around and stays healthy, then that's gravy.
The comments at PFT are the funny part to me.
