The Facts:
The TV crews camped out at Halas Hall awaiting the return of Benson, but the Bears’ RB did not meet his stated goal of rejoining the club’s offseason program today. Benson was absent for the voluntary workout program, a teammate said, missing for a second day after his arrest Saturday night on Lake Travis near Austin, Texas.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The report went on to note that a team official said Benson did show up at Halas Hall today and has met with club officials. Whether or not it counts as participating for the day isn't clear. It is, however, an issue. ... A clause in Benson's contract stipulates that $400,000 of his signing bonus, which was $4 million, is workout pay. That $400,000 is spread out over four offseasons, so if he fails to meet the 85 percent required attendance (34 of 40 days) he has to repay the club $100,000.
