In what amounted to two parts intervention, two parts interview, free-agent running back Cedric Benson told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday that the Raiders were one of two teams, along with Green Bay, to have shown interest in him thus far this offseason.

He also said he had talked to some players in Oakland about the new regime and culture shift. Alas, Benson, who has rushed for a combined 3,429 yards and 19 touchdowns the past three seasons, remains unemployed some two weeks before training camps open.

"I think I can make any situation work.," Benson told Adam Schein and former Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon. "I'm not against anything. I just want to play ball. I just want to be on a team that wants to win football games…and if either one of those teams (the Raiders and Packers), if that's their main goal and their main focus, it will work. Those situations can work."
