I was researching a future column about Aaron Rodgers and
tight ends with all the hype about the signing of Jimmy Graham and I came
across a very disturbing item on Packers.com that shows that Ted Thompson is
still in charge or Brian Gutekunst is just a chip off the old lying block.
I was looking up the stats for the tight end positions and
when I got to last year’s stats I found much to my surprise that Lance
Kendricks was the leading tight end with 18 catches followed by Richard Rodgers
with 12 catches and Emanuel Byrd with 2 catches. However and evidently I am
wrong I thought the Packers had another tight end on the roster or maybe it was
just a nightmare because he was the premier free agent acquisition by the best
general manager in the history of the NFL and he ended up being cut and sued for spite.
Does anyone remember Martellus Bennett? Evidently the
Packers front office doesn’t. He started the first 7 games and had 24 catches
for 233 yards and no TDs or at least I thought he did. However, it seems the
Packers front office is allowed to scrub his stats from the official records as
if he was never on the Packers roster. However, they haven’t completed their
rewriting because he still appears on the all-time roster and in the
transactions. But when they remember he is still there that might be next.
