Martellus Bennett

Great teammate and player last season. I'm glad he left before he had the chance to become a problem though.

Imagine having him, Gronk, Randy Moss, Chad Johnson and Corey Dillon on the same team. Brady would've demanded a pay raise.

Other than Johnson, the performance of those guys undoubtedly resulted in pay raises for Brady.

The only “regret“ of last season is we could only see glimpses of Gronk-Marty 2TE extravaganza..

Rob Gronkowski 5 109
Martellus Bennett 6 67 3TD

Off the field - this one will remain one of the finest team-mating stories:

Bennett got to know his Patriots teammates one ride at a time

You missed the point.

Will miss Marty. Reiss has a nice story about Edelman's extension. Interesting contrast with Bennett and why some stay and some leave. Contrasting priorities of maximizing earnings vs. other stuff, and how the risks of the former can have a detrimental effect on both (E.g., Bennett, Welker).

quick...somebody tell me what "assiduously" means....

You seem so happy: ignorance really is bliss, I see.

Love Bennett but I think people will be pleasantly surprised by Allen.

I usually go to my good friend "Mr Google" for these types of answers. But I couldn't spell it so I just assumed it was something bad.

one of my favorite guys from the team last year. i hope he is one of the guys who does America's Game

Love Marty. There are certain athletes who are characters, but dead serious on the field. Bill Lee was like that, clutch, fielded his position and wanted to bat. While he was needed, a player like that can really loosen up a locker room. It can go the other way too.

Also would have loved to see both TEs healthy together, but Marty sure did the dirty work, dependable receiver and played on a crushed ankle, apparently.

Hmmm..., "Joker", what could that moniker mean?

The Patriots have a solid record of getting nice pay days for these one year rental players like Bennett. It's great to maintain this reputation, as it attracts some very high level talent to come play for a ring with a reasonable price tag. Would have been good to keep him, but that's just business.

 

[willard]

So tough. Clutch early in the year and even playing hurt he demanded attention. Wanted that Superbowl ring bad. Loved him for that.

I think the punishment he put himself through will have consequences to his performance and OK we did not resign him.

 

[chris_in_sunnyvale]

He's an assiduously "charming" narcissistic bore. There are worse things, certainly, but there are also far better.

...and GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

And Chad Jackson, he about to break out.
