No one in the NFL needs O-line help like the Bears right now, yet it's the Lions looking at Bentley.

The Lions hosted free agent C/G LeCharles Bentley on Tuesday.

On the same day that OL coach Mike Barry threw G Manny Ramirez off the field during a drill. This is Bentley's first free agent visit since getting cut.

If he clears physical, I think the Lion's have to take a chance on him.

play him at G or bench Dom Raiola?

I would keep Dom in, play Bentley at guard.

Bentley visits Lions camp

The once-great center LeCharles Bentley was at Allen Park today to visit with Detroit Lions officials and even came out to watch a little bit of the morning workout.

Before undergoing four surgeries on his leg in the last two years, Bentley was considered one of the most dominant centers in the NFL. Bentley, who recently asked for his release from the Cleveland Browns (which was granted), is trying to make a comeback.

A source close to the situation said the Lions had a good visit with Bentley, but the team is not interested in signing him.

Last time the guy had a decent season was 2003. His best year to date was his rookie season.

I guess his reputation of sucking at FF has spread to Detroit...
