He has his relationship in life figured out. Events have an uncanny tendency to change our paths.Very cool guy who seems like he has his path in life figured out. Great to see.
I love me some Marty Bennett after the first three weeks, and I think he'll only excel once Brady returns and their game planning slightly changes. But I don't know how you keep a guy like him past this season with all the other guys due for extensions. He's a one-year rental and I think the team views him as such. But I agree with you 100 percent in that I wish there was a way (and just maybe is a way) we can keep him. I just don't see it as a likely scenario, especially if he plays well statistically.Gotta love Marty, i really hope everything goes right this season and he can stick around.

And I as well ...... "Events have an uncanny tendency to change the paths of some of us"I would change that slightly. He has his relationship in life figured out. Events have an uncanny tendency to change our paths.
Yeah, he's stated this is the happiest he's ever been and I, like you, am hopeful as well. But money is money, and guys have to strike while the iron is hot, especially in the NFL. A player typically only gets a chance for a huge pay day twice and maybe three times in the NFL. Consider that every player's career is one hit away from being kaput . . . can you blame some guys for going for the money, especially when they're still relatively young? I think that's why so many were angry with Revis (though I'm sure they're happy now). He was an aging player who finally won something and many thought he'd stay. I didn't fault him, though. When you can make the kind of money he's making with as much guaranteed as he got at his age, I think you'd be stupid not to take it. Revis is getting his no matter how many times he is getting burned for big plays. Marty, as happy as he may be, will want to get paid if he has a great season, and I can't necessarily say I blame him. But again, I really hope he stays. NE will offer him something that is fair, but it will come down to how much he values himself and if another team is willing to pay that if it so happens to be more than the value NE places on him.I think he is the happiest now, that he has ever been in the NFL* and I'm hopeful that he will take a bit less to stay a part of this team.
He has made Gronk's absence this year virtually unnoticeable
