After the Green Bay Packers released Martellus Bennett with the designation that he failed to disclose a medical condition, the Packers have filed paperwork to attempt to collect the unamortized portion of Bennett's signing bonus.

The Packers could have tried to get back the entire signing bonus, but considering Bennett played seven games, the stronger case would apply to the remaining $4.2 million that's prorated over the final two years of the deal. The case is expected to be heard by an arbitrator and would need to be settled before next season because of the salary-cap ramifications.

DARN! They're only going after the last 2 years of the signing bonus? I was hoping we could get 2.5 years of the signing bonus money back... so Bennett unfairly is getting half a year (or all a year depending on how you look at it)... assuming he's guilty that is.

More evidence of incompetence among the Packers medical staff.

Nothing new under the sun.

Bennett quit in The Packers!
Soon as Aaron went down!

Good riddance to him!

The Packers can get back some if the money, fine, if not then who cares?

The guy turned out to be a real tool in the end.
Not a TEAM player at all!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

packerfanoutwest (2m) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (4m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (5m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (14m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (20m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (22m) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (22m) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (24m) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (34m) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (39m) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (43m) : Packers will get in

beast (43m) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (49m) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (49m) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (3h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (13h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie
