Martellus Bennett has said that he would consider reducing his salary to stay at the New York Giants.

The tight end is coming to the end of his one-year deal with the reigning Super Bowl champions, having signed a $2.5m (£1.55m) contract in the offseason.

Bennett told the Star-Ledger: "I could sit here and tell you I would [accept a pay cut], but it depends on what it is.

"I would think that they would want me to stay. My first year in the offense, my first year as a starter, I thought I did pretty well.

"I'm about to start having kids and stuff. My kids need to make friends, and I don't want to be moving all the time. I would love to have a four- or five-year deal."

The 25-year-old has five touchdowns this season, having failed to find the end zone in his last three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.
