While I see and appreciate both of your points, prm, the one regarding big-time college players who don't make it in the NFL AND the one regarding the fact that Jones has been solid so why would you want to mess with a good thing and let "money" dictate your decision just because it does not go with your original plans (think... the old "best laid plans" adage) and how you've organized your payroll, I think it's just a bit early to even be intimating that he doesn't have the right stuff to succeed in the NFL, especially the week after he rattles off a 25-yard run and goes 3 for 35 overall in a game, mind you, where Jones struggled a bit (his yards per rush were weak). Benson made a BIG mistake holding out as long as he did, but, make NO mistakes, this guy has what it takes... AND THEN SOME... to make it in the NFL. This guy's a prototypical NFL tailback and a BIG-time talent. Make no mistakes about that.

I heard Rex Grossman started running this week and is targeting a November 27 comeback date. Whether or not he jumps back into the starting lineup right away, I don't know. I would say yes unless he is gimpy AND Orton has more games like last week and less 5 int. games.
The Bears gotta be pretty happy right now sittin in first place without him.

Whew... GREAT news, relatively speaking, on RB Cedric Benson, at least to us deep-keeper leaguers... with respect to his long-term future... From a LOCAL source off "the Gridiron Newsstand":
"Benson out 3-6 weeks"
His knee is NOT shredded!!! Just strained... Not that big of a deal in the "bigger picture"... and, again, for deep-keeper leaguers who have him. Now, it's time to sit tight and chalk '05 up to the wind... ... This is actually a testament to the guy's durability.  ...

Boy, did this thread get neglected!
In case you aren't watching, Bears QB Rex Grossman is back. WR Muhsin Muhammad came to the Bears because he felt he could hook up with Grossman and do well. They did that in preseason, before another Grossman injury. They didn't have an entire game together in Week 15. They have RB Thomas Jones to keep the opposing D honest. They play at the Packers and then at the Vikings next.
If you are desperate and can still do waivers in your league, take a look and think about it. Grossman is healthy and is the declared starter. That was always the plan. Just consider that a strong Chicago D could keep the scoring low, and Jones could get the points. But, HEY, if you need to know:
