An arbitrator has ruled against the Packers in their effort to recoup a portion of Martellus Bennett‘s $6.3MM signing bonus, Mike Florio of PFT tweets. Because the Packers waived Bennett and his contract was assumed by another team (the Patriots), the arbitrator deemed that Green Bay is unable to recover the money given to the tight end at the time of signing. 
The Packers, with the support of the league office, argued that Bennett should refund his signing bonus because he had not disclosed a pre-existing shoulder injury to the team last year. Even Bennett did keep his rotator cuff tear under wraps, the Packers did not have a clear path to get their money back after the Pats assumed his deal.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen what the Patriots will do with the contract that they hold with Bennett. The veteran only played in two games for the Patriots before landing on IR, but he is reportedly intent on playing in 2018. His contract calls for a $6.2MM cap hit this year and the Patriots must pay him a $2MM roster bonus if he’s still on the team on March 14.
Renegotiate the contract fits the offensive scheme perfectly and wants to win more then anything. Him healthy in the super bowl after cooks goes down while different ballgame
It seems he and his brother are about equal when it comes to honesty.
You don’t know him.
And you hang with him on the weekends? I know that he and his brother have lied…. which is proven fact…ie, they aren’t honest.
Did he pass the physical before signing? Yes, GB should get better doctors.
Likewise, you don’t know Green Bay’s orthopedic. Fortunately, I do and let’s just leave it that Bennett won’t be missed.
Him and his brothers are morons
Brother
Weird that a pile of crap like this guy would win his arb. Hearing…
Maybe you should do some testing and ask Bennett directly about known injuries. Gosh. Take on some accountability! Learn from them and move on.
