Chicago Bears place Martellus Bennett on trade block
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...on-trade-block


Is on his way out of Chicago?


The Bears have placed the veteran tight end on the trading block, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday, citing sources informed of the team's thinking. If another club swings a deal for Bennett, they'll do so knowing that the talented pass-catcher wants a contract extension.

Bennett signed a four-year, $20.4 million deal with the Bears in 2013, but the eighth-year pro has been a no-show for Chicago's offseason workouts. With running back Matt Forte also skipping the sessions, a whopping 53 percent of the team's total net offense from last season is missing.

Bennett is set to earn $4.9 million in base salary this season along with a $100,000 workout bonus. In two campaigns with the Bears, the 28-year-old target has pulled in 155 catches for 1,675 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Bennett also drew a five-day, team-imposed suspension in August after annoying players and coaches with a lackadaisical effort in training camp capped by his fight with cornerback Kyle Fuller.

The Bennett Bros. are having one heck of an offseason, with Michael, the Seahawks pass rusher, also reportedly seeking a new deal after inking a four-year, $28.5 million pact in 2014.

Money aside, Martellus would give tight end-needy teams a bona fide target through the air. We wouldn't be surprised to see someone come calling.

No thanks. He's a lazy ***** with no fire for the game. He flamed out in Dallas and could never get it going and the reports from Chicago aren't encouraging either. He got paid, now his career is over.

Overrated. I'd rather keep our pick that it would take to get him.

This place cracks me up. I'm in no way saying the guy is Gronk 2.0, but he put up almost 1000 yards and 6 TD's as the FOURTH option in that offense.

You can certainly question why he wants a new deal two years into his current one, but to call him lazy, worthless or overrated is ridiculous.

If Bennett is overrated, surely Kelce is too - they put up comparable numbers, even though Kelce is option 2 in this offense.

Just curious - are there ANY talented players on other teams in this league? Because according to most of CP, the rest of the league is hot garbage.

Did you watch the Hard Knocks series for the Dallas Cowboys?

The guy CLEARLY has no fire and lacks motivation. He moped around the field the entire series.

Did you read the OP where they mentioned how he annoyed team mates and coaches with piss poor effort?

The guy has 1 season worth a shit and a lot more damning evidence that suggests he's not worth his contract.

Have you read much about Martellus Bennett? He's a "different" dude and football is definitely not his first love. He's into art and art galleries, experimental music and more. He's into all types of things, actually, but football is low on his list of priorities.

Now, I'm not saying that he can't be effective on the field but he's a guy that plays only when he wants to play and like his brother, he often voices a dissenting opinion in the locker room.

He's one of those guys that plays football because he can, not because he loves the game.

7 Seasons in the NFL, not a single season in which he reached the 1K Yard mark, his effort and motivation has been questioned his entire career and now his 3rd team is willing to trade him....


Yet he's NOT overrated?

Holy ****. You know how many TE's gain 1000 yards?

Last year it was TWO.

Guess who was THIRD in yardage?

Mr. Overrated.

Any guesses as to how many TE's gained 1000 yards in 2013? 2012?

Hint: There were fewer in both seasons than in 2014.

You're going to belittle the guy because he wasn't one of the FOUR players over the last three seasons to break 1000 yards at the TE position? Sorry, man - I really like you, but that's ****ing stupid.

I don't give two ****s about the perceptions of message board fans. And I certainly don't care about what happened years ago in Dallas. Guys who are unmotivated and lazy don't show improvement three years running.

Right now, he's a pretty damn good TE - who has improved each of the last three years - it certainly wouldn't hurt having another talented TE here considering who our QB is.

And on top of that, he thinks he's worth more than $5m per. My first thought when I saw the thread was "maybe if the price is right" and that price is definitely not right.

My point being he had ONE good season in a 7 season career. You wanna sit here and just brush off countless reports of his poor work ethic as if it doesn't matter. It does.

It was a huge problem for Dallas, and apparently it's a problem yet AGAIN for Chicago. All of a sudden it won't be a problem in KC?

This is a theme for him. And he's already demanding a pay raise? Basically, he wants to be paid like an elite TE because of one good season's worth of production.

Not Interested.

We could certainly use his talent but I think that's a question as to whether or not you believe a player can ruin team chemistry.

Doesn't matter. Chiefs aren't going to pay him when they have Kelce on the roster.
