LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) - Cedric Benson paid a surprise visit to the Chicago Bears' training facility on Thursday, the 33rd day of the first-round draft pick's holdout.
Benson, a running back out of Texas who was the No. 4 selection overall, showed up at Halas Hall and met with general manager Jerry Angelo, but there were no negotiations. Benson's agent, Eugene Parker, was not present. Benson stayed for about half an hour.
Benson is the only first-round draft pick still unsigned. Last week, Angelo issued a statement saying the Bears had made their final offer and there was no more money on the table. He said any further negotiations would be about how Benson's value has diminished in the wake of his holdout.
