After 10 seasons in the NFL, Martellus Bennett announced via Instagram that this year will likely be his last. The Green Bay Packers tight end wrote:

“After conversations with my family I’m pretty sure these next 8 games will be the conclusion of my NFL career. To everyone who has poured themselves and time into my life and career. These next games are for you. Thank you.”

Bennett played one season with the New England Patriots, in which he recorded 701 receiving yards and seven touchdowns en route to a Super Bowl ring.
