Packers cut Bennett, hope to recoup cash

The Packers waived former Bears tight end Martellus Bennett on Wednesday, citing a failure to disclose a medical condition, which allows them to attempt to recoup some of his signing bonus.

Bennett, who signed a threeyear, $ 21 million deal in March after winning a Super Bowl with the Patriots, played seven games for the Packers. He had been dealing with a shoulder injury and said late last month that he might retire at the end of the season.

In 2014, Bennett set Bears records for a tight end with 90 catches for 916 yards. He stayed away from Halas Hall the next offseason, hoping that general manager Ryan Pace would give him a more lucrative contract. A year later, he was traded to the Patriots.

Despite Zach Miller’s injury, a Bears reunion is unlikely. Bennett can be claimed off waivers Thursday.

Jones threatens Goodell deal

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has threatened to sue the NFL over a proposed contract extension for commissioner Roger Goodell, a dispute apparently sparked by star running back Ezekiel Elliott’s sixgame suspension over alleged domestic violence.

Jones also has expressed disapproval with the structure and compensation in the contract extension.

Elliott’s third legal reprieve came in an emergency stay two days before the Cowboys beat the Chiefs. Now Elliott seeks a longerlasting injunction from a threejudge panel that will hear his case Thursday in New York.
