Cedric Benson knows there's an expiration date stamped on any NFL player and that it seems to come up sooner for running backs than anyone else. Benson insists he has a lot left to give the Green Bay Packers despite carrying the ball more than 1,500 times over the past seven NFL seasons. "I think I've got plenty," Benson said Monday. "I still feel good. I'm still loose, I diet well and I train well and do the best I can to contribute to the longevity of my career as best I know how. And I think I've got plenty of years left. I feel great." The Packers signed the free-agent running back Sunday, hoping to add depth and productivity at a position that is being stretched thin by injuries just a few weeks into training camp. Benson told FOXSportsWisconsin.com the Detriot Lions and Oakland Raiders both attempted to sign him before the Packers. "Both teams that needed backs," Benson said. "They talk about a Super Bowl around here, not about winning their first playoff game," the running back said. Source: NFL.com
