Martellus Bennett’s stint with the Dallas Cowboys, his home-state team, was marked by ups and downs. Drafted in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft from Texas A&M, he was expected to succeed Jason Witten. However, “Marty B” ended up playing for six different teams over a decade-long career, often falling short of expectations.
He capped off his career with a Super Bowl ring, but now, that chapter has officially closed as he parts ways with it.
The pinnacle of Bennett’s NFL career came on February 5, 2017, when he was part of the Patriots’ historic Super Bowl LI victory. In a game remembered for New England’s stunning comeback from a 28-3 halftime deficit, the Patriots defeated the Falcons 34-28 in overtime.
Marty B played a key role in the game, hauling in five catches for 62 yards. One of the rewards for his performance was a Super Bowl ring—one he recently sold. Bennett has now turned that achievement into profit, auctioning off the ring for $88,125.
Some fans are shocked that he decided to sell the ring, while others believe it should have fetched a higher price—especially given its connection to legendary quarterback Tom Brady, who led the Patriots during that historic season.
