Cedric Benson doesn’t like Thomas Jones, Bears conspiracy
Benson, who has 97 yards on 20 carries in his last two games in a backup role, added he had no interest in returning kicks or playing on special teams and did not hedge when addressing his relationship with Jones.
“It has kind of been the same … we’re not friends,” Benson said. “Me coming in was something heavy for him to deal with in his career. I’m supportive of him [and] all for him doing good.”
Still, Benson implied locker-room politics had something to do with the popular veteran playing ahead of him all season.
“I think there are things going on,” Benson said. “I really learned that when you get to the NFL, it’s not like high school or college, but the best players don’t always get on the field.”
