From the article

Benson is a talented back - that is a known commodity. However, all of this points to him being injury-prone, and in all likelihood, that would continue. No club wants to pay a guy to sit on IR, especially repeatedly.

Negative signalBust

Injury-prone profile and rookie underperformance made Benson expendable.

Despite being a talented back and third-round pick, Benson's injury-prone profile and lack of trade market value led the Cardinals to release him; the source argues that his pattern of injuries (meniscus, ankle, ACL) suggests he is likely to continue missing time on IR rather than reaching 1,000 yards in a season. As a rookie, he finished with only 291 yards and one TD on 63 carries plus 59 receiving yards on six catches.
