I agree...Cook wasn't worth the money. Need to spend it on OL >> TE. Can't block for shit either. This is a big upgrade for (hopefully) a relatively modest price and now
CUT DAVIS & SPAETH!!!
(cap savings $4+ million)

I am happy that Bennett is a better blocker, so that's another good thing. His effort and attitude are my only concerns, otherwise I am 100% in. Still... other than Cook, I think the best available all around.

This is an exceptional signing for the Bears for a number of reasons.
1. Bennett is every bit the athlete of they most elite TEs in the league and is a freak athletically.
2. Bennett proved last season when outside of Dallas and with the pressure of being the starter he could thrive.
3. Trestman's specialty is being a father figure and he will get the best out of Bennett.
4. The Bears need a threat at TE and Bennett can catch the ball and he can block giving them a ton of options.

I wanted Emery to sign either Cook or Bennett. Cook would have been awesome but probably too expensive. Now we've got a huge upgrade over Davis. He's big (exact same height and weight as Gronk!), strong and physical. A good red-zone target. I like it and I guess Cutler will like it, too. ;-)
Now go get us a LT or LG, Phil.

Your grammar.
Your spelling.
Your blindly pessimistic views.
Your insistence that the Bears signed these mythical special teamers to giant contracts rather than signing top free agents last year.
All things which make me roll my eyes when reading your posts.

If he turns out to be a mature player, then this is a good signing. If he likes his BMarsh, then hopefully BMarsh will have influence on his professional attitude. Who would have thunk that could be said about Brandon Marshall before he came here.
Just win baby.
The Greatest form of revenge is MASSIVE success.

Favourite tweet so far about Bennett
@ZachZaidman
Martellus Bennett had 55 receptions with the Giants last season. Kellen Davis has 47 in five years in the NFL.
