Martellus Bennett considers pay cut

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.
