The River Ridge High School graduate, who earned a Super Bowl ring as a rookie long-snapper for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was upbeat about his future in pro football Friday, one day after learning he'd been cut by the NFL team.
Gold said the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills are the teams most likely to sign Benjamin, who said he just wants another chance to compete for an NFL job. Benjamin played one game with the Chicago Bears in 2001, then joined the Bucs six games into the 2002 season, which ended with Tampa Bay's Super Bowl victory. Should a team pick him up off waivers, he'll play under his current one-year contract, which would pay him $380,000, the league minimum for a third-year player.
