It’s sad to see a guy who’s been such a bust and who parties with lots of white girls on his boat while drinking get cut from a team, but that day has unfortunately come. The Chicago Bears, who only play mediocre-to-bad quarterbacks, have decided they’re not going to take that approach at the running back spot.

His weekend DUI charge while in a car in Austin, Texas, has led to his release, however. The Bears placed Benson on waivers Monday, two years before the end of his contract and three years into a disappointing career with the team.

“Cedric displayed a pattern of behavior we will not tolerate,” Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said in a statement. “As I said this past weekend, you have to protect your job. Everyone in this organization is held accountable for their actions. When individual priorities overshadow team goals, we suffer the consequences as a team. Those who fail to understand the importance of ‘team’ will not play for the Chicago Bears.”

This one should really damage the Bears. Benson, after all, has rushed for 1,500 yards over three seasons, or less than what Adrian Peterson did last year with the Vikings.
