Packers release Martellus Bennett

The Green Bay Packers released tight end Martellus Bennett on Wednesday.

Bennett was reportedly released with the "failure to disclose a medical condition" designation, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.

The veteran signed a three-year, $21-million contract on March 10, coming off a Super Bowl victory with the New England Patriots.

The #Packers paid TE Martellus Bennett $8M of his 3-year, $21M contract. The only tangible benefit to cutting him with the failure to disclose is if they argue his entire contract is void & go after his money. This isn't over just yet.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Bennett revealed that in October he was "pretty sure" he'd retire at the end of the 2017 season.

Bennett was listed on the Packers' injury report with a shoulder ailment.

The 30-year-old caught 24 passes for 233 yards in seven games this season.
