Cedric Benson, who made headlines for his comments about quarterback Carson Palmer, also commented on his free agent situation. Benson said that it would hurt the Bengals if Palmer returned to the team next season. Benson likes Palmer personally, but he doesn't think the club can ignore the quarterback's desire to be traded. "I think I'm deserving of that I just hope a couple teams feel the same way," Benson said of a new deal with the Bengals. "It would be nice if it would be the Bengals, they drafted a quarterback in the second round and have young receivers, they're going to need a horse in there."
