The Bengals are open to giving running back Cedric Benson a contract extension. Representatives for Benson have contacted Cincinnati about a possible extension after a successful run with the team. He will be a free agent after the 2010 season. "Things are coming to me a lot easier this year," Benson said. "Even if there is a play that I'm not 100 percent sure about, it's easy to dissect it faster before the ball is snapped. I've made big improvements in that aspect and I'm a lot more comfortable in the offense. I think I'm more explosive making plays down the field and have improved on my overall speed, strength and endurance."
