That's strange.
I thought he'd already hung it up.
Good riddens.
Might as well.
Can't catch.
Ya, no kiddin'. Maybe that explains his "effort" all year.
Rumor has it he can block good.
Heβs been better than Cook. Football fans are funny.
Thanks for sharing Marty
Green Bay hasnβt known how to utilize a TE for years. Not Cookβs, Martyβs, or Kendrickβs fault. Just ****ty planning.
I remember when TT was a genius for signing Bennett just 7 months ago rather than retaining Cook. Oh well, better for the team to cut its losses rather than having to pay him in 2018 and 2019.
Amazing NE got such productivity out of him last season and he has just shat the bed, as a receiver at least, in GB.
I guess there was a reason this head case was with 5 different teams the past 7 or 8 years.
Well add TE to the long list of needs next season.
Play Kendricks or *Clyde* and take your chances.

My eyes deceive?
Wonβt he have to return prorated signing bonus money?
He will owe like 4 million. Probably looking for a trade.
....and why the F announce it now ...unless you're a "Me first" douche.
Don't we have 9 regular season games left? The guy has already retired. Did not like his body language from game one.
Is he planning on not being active for the playoffs??
Bennett has been "me first" from the get go.
Making sure everyone knew he was studying the playbook as if that should not be expected.
Sleeping in the facility and letting everyone know so we could all ooh & ahh over his dedication.
Bennett has a been me first since he got in the NFL. Bitched about Witten in Dallas. Sucker punched teammate in Chicago.
Not saying he has not earned or deserved the money he made, but not sad he'll not be in GB next year.
Still pisses me off that NE somehow got the most out of him last season when Gronk went down.
He's a great blocking TE. No complaints there
Hanging 'em up before his body craps out? Makes sense to me.
No problem with Bennett hanging em up given that based upon his comments and play in the field his heart is obviously not in it any more.
Just would have preferred for him to announce it once the Packers were out of it or at the end of the season so as to not be a distraction.
Oh, and since the Pack signed him to that big 3 YEAR contract this offseason I certainly hope Bennett is offering to give back the pro-rated portion of his signing bonus.
If not, I hope the Pack goes after his pass dropping self for every last penny.
