Packers lose grievance against Patriots' Martellus Bennett
The Green Bay Packers have lost their grievance to recover the signing bonus of New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett.
The Packers contended that Bennett withheld a shoulder injury from them before signing with the team in March. It's likely that the league decided that the Pack's medical team should have found the injury during a routine examination. Bennett will retain the $6.2 million. The 30-year-old is a candidate to be waived by the Patriots with a $2 million roster bonus on his contract.
Over 9 games with the Packers and Patriots, Bennett caught 30 balls for 286 yards. He was held without a touchdown in his 7 starts.
