ANGELO HINTS BENSON’S JOB IN JEOPARDY

Hours after Bears running back Cedric Benson was arrested again, General Manager Jerry Angelo suggested that Benson ought to be concerned about losing his job over the matter.

“There was alcohol involved, that’s all we know,” Angelo said today, per the Chicago Tribune. “We are certainly going to take this seriously. Disappointment is too often-used word when talking about Cedric. The No. 1 lesson of every player is protect your job.”

If the Bears cut Benson (whose mug shot shows him grinning after he was arrested), their fans likely won’t mind: An unscientific poll on the Tribune’s web site shows that nearly 90 percent of respondents want the Bears to cut Benson.

Angelo also characterized the news of Benson’s arrest as “hard to believe’’ and said, “We are certainly going to take this very seriously.”
