When Rodgers went down, his reason for playing in Green Bay ended. I would project that if Rodgers had stayed healthy, Bennett would have been an asset to the team.

He is a true free agent. A hired gun or a mercenary that makes your team better, but with his own motivations. I don’t believe he’s a POS. I think he convinced himself that when Rodgers went down, his reason for playing here was finished. I think that upset the management of the team, but I suspect, they’ll get back some of the money paid based upon his Facebook comments and the fact that he played in New England even though he told Green Bay that he needed season ending surgery.

I’m not against free agency, but it has its pitfalls. Teams that use it extensively suffer in team chemistry. Seldom does their records reflect the outlay in money and resources. Lightly used, it can help the team. We got burned this time. Next time, we might not.
Didn't the POS win a ring last year?

And he is a POS because he's been dishonest in his dealings.

And what NFL professional isn't a "hired gun." It's the nature of professional sports since Curt Flood.

Of course free agency has its pitfalls, but if teams are careful and lucky it turns out pretty good. See New England and the Rams. And we GB fans know all too well that draft and develop has its pitfalls too.
