Do we really know what happened? Is it possible that after announcing he wanted to retire after the season, he decided he had an injury and couldn’t play last week. When they checked with him this week, he cited the same injury. When asked when it occurred, he said it was an existing injury.

I remember a certain CB that did much the same thing for a couple of weeks when we didn’t renegotiate his contract. That player was traded to the Saints.

Before we say that it’s a crappy way to do business, let’s find out if Bennett has basically decided to retire early.
