In what looks to be the Bengals' first player-for-player trade of the decade, they picked up their potential backup running back in exchange for backup defensive lineman Orien Harris on Thursday.

Darrin Simmons, the Bengals special teams coach with the freeze-frame memory, knew right where to go to begin his in-depth study of Gary Russell this week.

The Bengals re-signed Cedric Benson to be their featured running back, but as the team prepares for this weekend's NFL Draft, one of its needs is to find someone to help carry the load.

Even though the Bengals sealed Cedric Benson on a two-year deal , there's a likelihood that the team will have to acquire at least one more running back; likely through the draft.

UPDATE: One down . The Cincinnati Bengals, it was reported hours ago, had offered Cedric Benson a new contract after Benson publicly showed interest in joining the Houston Texans.

The NFL Combine is full of news, although a lot of it doesn't necessarily concern the Bengals.
