I wonder if another team will take a risk on him given the injury concerns.

[Standish]

A team like Denver should take a chance on him...

[scar988]

I hope Atlanta takes a look. we could use a good interior lineman like him if we got him to return to form.

Florio from PFT says he thinks the Vikings are going to make a run at him. I would definetly take him as an insurance policy and backup to Birk his first year and than a possible starter after Birk's contract is up after this season. I don't know if he would want to sign to be a backup though.

Bentley might be a better player than Birk actually if healthy. Birk is such a leader in the locker room though...We wouldn't be able to bench him.

Saints would be a great fit. props

[scar988]

if in Minnesota he'll be a RG starter.

[Blazedestin]

Agreed at RG. Bentley had the versatility to play anywhere on the interior line. What does he have now? We don't know.

[IlliniVikeFan23]

Hmm, possibly. He would have obviously take the job away from Herrera who actually played pretty well and earned himself a 5yr 15 million dollar contract.

Torn patellar tendons are the toughest injurys to come back from. I tore mine freshman year and haven't been able to play football since. Does anybody know of a player that has come back and been successful after this injury? I know Cadillac Williams tore his...How has his progress been?

[Blazedestin]

There's hopes he may be active starting mid-2008 season.

How many years ago did you tear yours? We don't have any timeframe to crosscheck "Freshman year" against.

[Joey_Potter]

I tore a bunch of mine in 00, had surgery. I think I tore the muscle in my knee and have been walking around with a torn muscle in my knee for 8 years.

3 years ago. Still isn't 100%. I can't even do squats without worrying I am going to hurt it again.
