    Our rookies' numbers shouldn't hurt our team too much as far as cap room goes if this article is true.

    Should have plenty of room to sign Benson.

    You can never have enough depth at RB. Goodson can play ST also. We need a guy that can pound the rock Goodson has not proven to be that guy at 210 lbs and Jones is not big enough. Benson is a happy meal under 230 lbs.

    Like the idea of Benson, doubt the money is the problem. But the numbers with the RBs and FBs don't add up. McFadden, Benson, Goodsen, Jones, Reece and that other FB we signed. That is 6. Seems like too many to have on the active roster. If we do sign Benson, then we don't have to worry about that for a while, and odds aren't bad that nature will do in one of these guys before final cutdowns. Competition is always good too.

    I'd say sign him if the price is right (about a mil).

    "@LeviDamien: Per @ProFootballTalk #Raiders are $1.34 million under the cap. Only Ravens have less cap space ($606k)."

    If DMC goes down again then we will need a good rb to carry the load...Benson is above average and better than any of our backups. He can make the season go smoothly and imagine having the opposing defense prepare for two starting rbs with different styles.

    What happen if DMac goes down with an injury. You can never have enough RB depth. Last year we lost DMac, Jones and I think Reese had injuries in about 1/4 of the season too. If you're going to rely on DMac to play 16 games say a prayer.
