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.

15 TE's are making more than $5M per right now.

I can only find three guys that have outproduced him the last two years.

Graham, Olsen and Gates.

Add Gronk to that list, he certainly would have if healthy.

If I'm Bennett and I see guys like Charles Clay, Kyle Rudolph, Dennis Pitta, Lance Kendricks, Jared Cook and Heath Miller making more than $5M, I'm sure as **** going to be asking for it as well.

Just finished reading an article where he basically throws his teammates under the bus, claiming that certain positions "Need more passion and leadership, they know who they are".

Also ran his mouth in Dallas claiming that Kitna should have a crack at starting over Romo....

Not Interested.

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.

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.

Sometimes the talent just isn't worth the headache it brings with it.

The only thing i even remember about the Cowboys Hard Knocks was how shitty Bennett's demeanor was. No joke. It's the ONLY thing i remember from that show. It annoyed the shit out of me.

It's a lasting image of him burned into my brain. And then to find out he's doing it again in Chicago?

Not Interested.

Yeah, because look how far "team chemistry" has gotten us.

Look, I know there's no way in hell he comes here, my whole point in this is that there's no statistical evidence to prove the claims of being worthless or lazy.

It's another classic case of attempting to minimize a guy's talent simply because he doesn't play for the home team. If he's the PITA everyone seems to think he is, he won't get moved. My guess is someone grabs him for a 4th or so.

Bull ****ing shit. That's not my thing.

Fact is, there's been many reports from multiple teams about his poor work ethic. I have no idea why you keep saying people are making shit up about him being lazy. It even notes it right there in the damn OP.

He has a reputation. Chiefsplanet didn't randomly start spreading rumors about him that magically caught on in NFL circles.

Hrmmm.....I wonder why Chicago isn't interested in paying this supposed top 5 TE after his career best season? Why would they rather trade him?

What could they possibly know about him?

I'd like an explanation:

How does a guy become the 4th highest producing TE in the last two years - in an offense where he's the FOURTH option - if he's lazy?

You guys continue to wring your hands over news reports, "reputations" and perception.

I'll continue to only care about what happens between the lines on gameday.

Hmmm.

I wonder why KC isn't interested in paying an elite OLB after a career best season?

For the same reason Chicago isn't bending over to pay Bennett:

THEY DON'T HAVE TO.

One is under contract, the other is on a tag.

Holy shit, you've lost your mind. Sure, NFL teams just willingly give raises to players just because they ask for them!

Yeah you say that.....

I like how you dismiss his entire body of work over a single season's worth of effort.

4 BAD seasons
2 average seasons
Reports and video evidence of poor work ethic in Dallas
Reports of poor work ethic in Chicago
Gets into a fight with a team mate in Chicago
Throws Chicago teammates under the bus
Claims that Romo should have to compete with Kitna for the starting job (throwing Romo under the bus basically)
Holds out in 2015 for a a new contract, just 2 years into his existing contract.

vs

ONE 900 yard season in 2014.

There's your risk vs reward. Oh, and you need you give up a draft pick for him as well as pay him a top 5 contract.

This is a no brainer.

I wasn't actually disagreeing...

But there definitely does seem to be something to the whole team chemistry thing. There's a difference between a talented player that makes/has made stupid decisions off the field at times (Josh Gordon, Justin Houston) and a guy that is known to be an un-agreeable (I probably made that word up) black hole (Bennett, Percy Harvin).

Oh really? Did i miss the report on KC willing to trade Houston? Last i checked, they were negotiating, not putting him on the trade block. Get out of here with that comparison. On top of that Houston has had more than 1 season's worth of elite play.

Awful comparison.
