Bennett Released For Failure to Disclose Medical Condition

[Pugger]

I am in favor of any player using the available rules to get what they want in terms of employment and compensation.

That Bennett pulled this particular stunt just reveals his priorities, which are not all that surprising given his history of short stays on a lot of teams. Even Romo couldn't work up much nice to say about Bennett when he recalled they used to be on the same team.

This is why FA is fools gold.

Bennett is getting the same salary from NE that he got from us so what you are saying here rings hollow. Bennett wanted to get out of town once #12 broke his collarbone. He only looks out for #1, not his teammates or the team signing his checks. NE is the only team he ever played on that has any use for him and that's because they win. If something happens over there - Brady and a bunch of players go down and they start to lose - Bennett will quit on them too.

But he didn't want to play and risk his shoulder with what he viewed as a non-contender. Its a fair read of the situation. Get paid and stay safe on IR for Packers or get paid and chase a ring with New England.

But it does make him a terrible teammate and its one reason to be somewhat suspicious of FAs.

Where he REALLY blew it was trying to throw the Doc under the bus. Not only did it not make sense with McKenzie's previous performance, but as of late Monday night, he has just proven that the Doc's most likely diagnosis, its torn but you are not likely to make it worse by continuing to play if you can manage the pain, was absolutely correct.

Really pb?? smh

If you want an individual to evaluate their own tolerance for risk and make the decision for themselves, you can't pick their goals for them. Its hard to put value on team and camaraderie already and then add in a system that largely serves to make you close to disposable.

This is what this guy does and it seems pretty consistent.

And its kinda weird to blame the player for making basically the same decision team's make when letting players go.

Can't help us win a championship? Bye. Brett Goode didn't get paid while healing enough to be active for Game Days.

So in essence, MB had every right to be a complete douche and took full advantage of his doucheability.

Oh absolutely. You cannot use this leverage without being a little dishonest or at the very least, not forthcoming.

But its completely rational, it seems to me. I just could not sell out a team like that and join another after choosing surgery.

Very curious if the Packers suspect tampering or just thought Bennett was playing a game with the injury to land on IR.

[smuggler]

TL;DR

Once our Season was over, Bennett wanted to sit and colect a paycheck. To which GB responded: "That's fine... If you're in post-op rehab." Bennett didn't want to play but he also didn't want the surgery. So they cut bait. He's an asshole, so if they recoup some of that bonus money, good for them.

Bill Barnwell @billbarnwell
If salary cap info is right, Patriots ended up paying $476,471 for 24 snaps from Martellus Bennett in 2017. Just under $20,000 per play.

NFL will not investigate how Martellus Bennett left Packers, joined Patriots

The New England Patriots will not be embroiled in another NFL investigation.

The league has no interest in looking into how Martellus Bennett left the Green Bay Packers and landed with Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and New England.

of course they wont, its the patriots

Bennett the turd will forever be remembered by Packers fans as the guy who dropped the pass on the play Rodgers broke his collar bone. What a butterfinger.
