When the Green Bay Packers signed Martellus Bennett, I remembered being pretty stoked about the whole thing. Packers general manager Ted Thompson finally made a move in free agency, and he got a premier tight end in the league. Bennett had a reasonable three-year deal with the team. He did not get off to the best start as Marty struggled with drops, but there were a few off-the-field moments that made you happy he was on your team. All of this went south in the last two weeks. Packers release the former Super Bowl champion and may come after his money. This is going to get very ugly for the team.

Green Bay claims the now former Packers tight end did not disclose an injury. That’s why they were releasing him, and some believe that could be the start of Green Bay asking for money back. The timing of the whole thing is odd though. After Aaron Rodgers went down with an injury, Bennett told the media that he thought about retiring next season. During bye week headed into Detroit, a mysterious shoulder injury popped up. What happened here? Did this shoulder issue always exist and the Packers never got the word? How did this team not have the due diligence needed?

Bennett remained radio silent on Twitter and Instagram yesterday, but I expect him to break his silence today. He will try to make the Packers look like the assholes. As someone whose been very anti-establishment for the last few years, Green Bay will look like very bad, even if, they may have a reason to let Bennett go plus go after what they’ve already paid him. By the end of this, Packers fans will have a very sour taste of the Marty B era in Green Bay.

Packers move on with Lance Kendricks and Richard Rodgers at tight end, and hopefully, this is not as messy as I think it will be.

Charlie.
