I guess Martellus really did just "quit" The Packers.
Oh well, Hundley probably had more reps with Kendricks and Rodgers.
Packers just freed up a lot of cap space for next year and they still have the option to go after around 4 mil in signing bonus .

Great. 😞

Hurts Gronkowski's value in fantasy.

Will use him as a WR as Hogan might be out a lot longer than many think.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

LOL! Like Wilde tweeted...he feels duped. I think we all do. He's a douche just like his brother in Seattle. Two very weird people.

Articles have suggested that the release designation of "failure to disclose physical condition", will allow the Packers to go after the signing bonus money... and normally when teams go after it, they get it. If Bennett fights it, then the Packers might have to prove that Bennett had a "failure to disclose physical condition".

Of course, if he retires, then it really doesn't matter because you can get prorated signing bonus back for retirement too.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
