Instead, the Eagles signed Benn to a one year extension to keep him with the team through 2014. After being drafted in the second round by the Buccaneers in 2010, Benn has struggled to be a consistent performer in the league. Benn has failed to catch more than 30 passes in a season. He caught just four passes for 26 yards last season as he missed eight games due to a knee injury that landed him on injured reserve. Benn has caught 59 passes through three seasons for 862 yards and five touchdowns.
