So you're telling me that suddenly the Packers, a team known to be conservative with injuries and known for treating its players well when it comes to their health, suddenly just tried forcing this one guy to play through an injury that required surgery.
He was saying things, man. Things.
Like rest and ice are your best friend.
It almost sounds like Bennett just went ahead and got the surgery done on his own.

Not sure what to make of it. His point was after his retirement musings he was convinced the Packers were about to fuck him. I would imagine the Packers felt the same way in reverse given the financial commitment.
Maybe a perfect storm of mistrust? The fact he shows up in New England practicing makes me wary that the entire story is out there.
Wow this guy is dumber than I thought and a real POS. Putting out the BS about Dr. McKenzie will backfire big time on him. He's going to get buried on this.
Is this ligitimate?
The thing here that rings out to me is Martellus Bennett (again if this is the TRUTH or REAL) on the advice of three (non related to the Green Bay Packer... DOCTORS) and all three advised that he had to get whatever fixed.
He then followed up after those three Doctor consultations by securing a sugical repair all and of his own accord.
Frankly I have been a fan od Pro Sports for over 60 years and has this type of thing and player injury ever happened just like this before?
Where this might go is going to be a education and Pro Sports and how injuries are handled at all levels.
It's a mess.
.
Here's the problem. he practiced today, and said he's completely healthy in an interview. so if he's "completely healthy" then what's the point of this?
I was a HUGE Bennett fan/supporter. Now's he's just proving to be a bitch. He can post every day now about how the packers f'd him. F him. pull the string out of your V and play football.
Rodgers weighs in:
aaronrodgers12I've been working with Dr. McKenzie for 13 years, and as well as being a phenomenal doctor, he's also become a close friend. He's done surgery on me twice, and I trust him and his opinion implicitly. Doc has always tried to protect me and my future, even if it meant protecting me from myself and my desire to get back on the field before I should. #gbpfamily #mydoc #ibackpat
Also Leroy Butler and TJ Lang.
Seems like the attack on Dr. McKenzie has touched a nerve.
The path has been illuminated. The Packers will rally around Dr. McKenzie and hold the season together by a thread until Rodgers returns. They sneak into the playoffs at 9-7 and go on a run for the ages, defeating the Patriots in the Superbowl.

I have a hard time believing they tried rushing him back with that injury.
In 2012 they were paying me far less than him, I was similarly ineffective on the field and they sat me in preseason game 4 with just a sprained shoulder.
"I was similarly ineffective"
Thanks Tom. Needed that one. lol
How ironic is it that the Patriots signed a turncoat?
I think its clearly a battle of strategy to get paid and get healed in some fashion versus having to carry the player on the roster/IR/cap. I bet the Packers were worried about him tanking with this injury/retirement talk after Rodgers got hurt and Bennett made a business decision that if he was going to sacrifice the shoulder, he should be getting a return on the effort beyond the paycheck.
After the signing bonus in 2017, his deal in 2018 wasn't guaranteed. Better contract bylaws probably can eliminate that conflict.
Bringing in McKenzie into the argument seems dumb and to have backfired.
I also don't get why there would be mistrust on the Packers side about "keeping him on the roster for next year". If he has surgery while on the team IR, what downside is there for the Packers to wait it out?

I think we are up to 10 players who have Doc Mckenzies back. Bennett is looking like a real POS right now....just like his brother who is going to kick my ass.

Watching the Video in this LINK:
It looks like he's going to try and play through with his injury with the NE Patriots.
If he can survive until the end of the Season he'll put off any necessary surgery until the Off Season.
If he 'in fact ' has a torn Rotator Cuff Injury and based on my experience with such.
His Season is over.

Nice review of the contretemps AND the news that Bennett has a chance to play for the Patriots tonight.
Rapoport has a source tells him Bennett has a medical test in his file that shows the extent of his original injury and that the Packers, from consulting his file, should have been aware of it.
I didn't catch the part about them being able to consult his file. There was this:
Do teams have access to another team's medical records for the same player? It's not clear from that statement, but that doesn't seem to be the case.Quote:
One source said there is proof in the form of a medical test to show the exact injury Bennett had in New England in 2016, though the team was not made aware of what it was or how serious. When the grievance is filed, the Packers' stance on the issue will become clearer.
So the Packers are going to try to get Martellus Bennettès Signing BONUS back.

What a fricken mess 'of finger pointing' this is.

Patriots can expect to get Martellus Bennett's best, just like 2016
Comment woodbuck27:
Looking at this tells me that the Green Bay Packers have a solid case.
Am I the only one sharpening his schadenfreude?
The ESPN radio guys are talking about Bennett's return to NE like it was a great trade or something and not that Bennett pulled a total dick move. Unreal.
