The Patriots released tight end Martellus Bennett on Wednesday.
Bennett was due a $2 million roster bonus next week. His release will save New England about $6 million in salary cap space.
Bennett joined New England in November of last season after being released by Green Bay for "failing to disclose a physical condition."
He started seven games for the Packers in 2017 after signing a three-year Paul Worrilow Color Rush Jersey , $21 million contract as a free agent. Following his release, Bennett appeared in two games for the Patriots before being placed on injured reserve with hamstring and shoulder issues.
In 2016, Bennett caught 55 passes for 701 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns on his way to earning a Super Bowl ring with the Patriots.

The two-time defending AFC North champions signed the free agent safety to a three-year deal on Tuesday Cheap Isaiah Wynn Jersey , part of an overhaul in the secondary that began last week when the team cut ties with veterans Mike Mitchell, Robert Golden and William Gay.
The 29-year-old Burnett has played all eight seasons of his NFL career in Green Bay, collecting 683 tackles Authentic Rick Leonard Jersey , 44 passes defensed, nine interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries. He started 102 games for the Packers and won a Super Bowl ring in 2011, when Green Bay beat Pittsburgh.
"I'm coming in to do my job the best I can do Dante Pettis Color Rush Jersey , wherever I fit," Burnett said. "To be accountable as a teammate and earn the respect of the coaches and get into a routine with the rest of the fellas."
Burnett moved around late in his tenure with the Packers but spent the majority of the time in Green Bay at safety. It's a position where the Steelers have a serious need after deciding to part ways with Mitchell and Golden. Sean Davis has shown flashes during his two seasons and has one of the two starting spots. The other remains up in the air, though Burnett would figure to have the inside track over J.J. Wilcox.
"There's things in my toolbox I'm capable to move around and play different positions if need be Lamar Jackson Jersey Elite ," Burnett said. "But definitely I came into the league as safety and that's where I'm comfortable at."
