    Packers Star Reveals on Instagram Story That He's Retiring After This Season

    BY: Thomas Carannante ... 29 OCT 2017

    " Tight end Martellus Bennett, who signed a three-year, $21 million contract with Green Bay in the offseason, is apparently going to call it quits after 2017. What a shame, considering we never got to see his full potential with Rodgers as his QB."

    This sort of makes sense. At times this season, so far, it seems like he's already retired.

    I miss Cook. Bennett was a pro bowler at some point... but screw it. Wish we could make a trade or save his salary for a more productive player.

    When I saw this in Facebook, I replied "Good Riddance". We didn't give up anything in trade to get him; He's got two years left on his non-guaranteed contract for more money than he's getting this season; And most of all, he's been a big disappointment - IMO anyway.

    I'd take Richard Rodgers over either Bennett or Kendrick.

    Most of us thought this would be an upgrade over Cook; I wonder if TT did, too.

    We were wrong.

    Let's not even get into whether the 235 lb guy can block as well as the 250 lb guy.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Blame stubby. Most of his career in GB has been spent pass blocking.

    Yes, in between dropped passes.


    I really don't have it in for Bennett. Not sure he won't turn it around. I'm just pissed that Cook came, saw, conquered, then fucking left.

    The thing is, Bennett should be an upgrade over Cook. For whatever reason, he just hasn't shown up.

    I guess he figures that with Hundley now starting, he won't get much of an opportunity. I think he may decide to play one more year. The Packers will want him back, and he has millions of reasons to continue playing.

    Stubby? I think the blame should be on the mess on the OL because of injuries.

    they should just ask him to retire now and pay him for the year. his heart isn't in it which means the effort won't be in it either. kinda feel he retired during camp. no need for a farewell tour. lol

    I was taunting you, declaring there was a different "we" who were skeptical about the switch.

    I took the "Cook uber alles" position because I had the great advantage of ignorance. The fantasy football guys said I was a big dummy.
