No risk for NE? Haven't they become responsible for rest of this year's contract?

I don’t think so. His contract for this year is paid by Green Bay. We may be able to get out of part of the signing bonus through arbitration. New England is responsible for the remainder of his contract.Quote:

Mike Reiss @MikeReiss
Martellus Bennett is present at Patriots practice, which reflects how he passed his physical with the team.
It is on the page over on Footballs Future.Quote:

I put more stock into what someone who might know more about what is going on at 1265 than a fan like you or me.Quote:

As a fan it's just this:
A) The Packers released him reportedly ``for à failure to disclose an injury.
B) From that I would assume he must have an injury or some other issue like something mental or emotional not allowing him to be available to play football and up to a certain point in time prior to his release it became the case that the Green Bay Packers discovered à failure to disclose Issue....Thus the RELEASE.
C) If in fact I was his Agent and was well aware that Martellus Bennett was ìn fact`capable of playing and desiring to play after being released by the Green Bay Packers`. I would be pulling for him to be received by another NFL Team and active again playing for that NFL Team ASAP.
In fact... I posted that in a thread before the New England Patriots pulled him off the Waiver Wire.
We are now learning that `ìn fact `Michael Bennett is practising for the New England Patriots. That might mean that he`s OK to play for his former team.
D) As an NFL fan it is simply à good for Michael Bennett story to me. As a Green Bay Packer fan it's a bit of a mystery why he was released by the Green Bay Packers under ' à failure to disclose`or what didn't he disclose in terms of an injury or some emotional or mental issue?
What is missing here Pugger?
I'm just as you say a fan and that's not my business as to determine the absolute TRUTH beyond speculation.
I do perceive that obviously the Green Bay Packer BRASS may have found themselves in possibly an embarassing situation here and Martellus Bennett and of late in embarrassing situations.
I'll elabourate on that:
Isn't it something like MM being 'all in' and Backup QB Brett Hundley and then we learn that the Packers went after QB Brian Hoyer before the NE Patriots scooped him after his release from the San Fran 49ers. If 'in fact' TT went after QB Brian Hoyer after MM's stance and his 3 Year Project Brett Hundley. Might MM not be a tad pissed at TT? Might that have raised his Irish temper? Such a move by TT if he made it might be embarrassing to MM.
Isn't it very possible (or even remotely possible that) the wheels are coming off things and Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy; or their may be a communication and co-operation Issue...it's otherwise deemed 'a failure to communicate' or a failure of 'I'll have your back if you have mine'? :idea:
Pugger? Anyone ?? .... :-)
Thats what you say when you have lost the ability to do anything about it.Quote:

Asked Bakhtiari if he felt Martellus Bennett quit on the #Packers, and he would not go that far. "I’ll just say I’m disappointed with how everything unfolded. I’ll leave it I at that."

#Packers OLB Ahmad Brooks said he asked Marty Bennett about the retirement announcement when players returned from the bye. "He said he was just talking crap," Brooks said. Brooks told me he does not believe Bennett was sincere about retirement. ... 4:55 PM - Nov 9, 2017
well, except the fact he's a liar.Quote:

The Green Bay Packer BRASS had better let this one simply be swept under the rug.
Arn't they very good at that anyway? :cry:
