Are Martellus Bennett's days in Dallas numbered?

If the recent release of Pro Bowl center Andre Gurode teaches us anything, it’s that no one is safe. And according to Coach Jason Garrett, there might still be some big names on the chopping block. But is one of those names Martellus Bennett?

Drafted in the 2nd round of the 2008 NFL Draft, the former Texas A&M tight end has clearly not lived up to his potential. Limited by a combination of injury, mental lapses, and perceived laziness (see Hard Knocks), Bennett has struggled with consistency his entire career.

In the past three seasons. he’s had 68 receptions as Jason Witten’s primary backup. But Martellus has not scored a touchdown since 2008.

Also, take into account Martellus’ numerous off the field antics. He was fined $22,000 for making an explicit rap video and posting it to Youtube. There were nude photos of him that made there way onto the web. And earlier this year, Martellus went on ESPN Radio and all but said that Jon Kitna should be the Cowboy’s starting QB instead of Tony Romo. (more…)
