When the Green Bay Packers made the surprise move to release veteran tight end Martellus Bennett Wednesday, many began speculating that a reunion between Bennett and his former team, the New England Patriots, was almost inevitable.

Well, the inevitable has happened.

Former Packers’ TE Martellus Bennett claimed on waivers by the New England Patriots, per source. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 9, 2017

Bennett, 30, was part of New England’s Super Bowl LI team that overcame a 25-point second half deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL’s first-ever overtime game, 34-28.

See how Twitter reacted to the news of Bennett and the Patriots reuniting.

Bill Belichick claims Martellus Bennett for like $700k because he is better at this football thing than anyone on earth. — DAVIS HSU (@DavisHsuSeattle) November 9, 2017

Most important factors in #Patriots bringing back Martellus Bennett: Tom Brady trusts him, he’s Rob Gronkowski insurance (if healthy), Dwayne Allen’s been useless, he’s a great blocking tight end, he knows the offense, and – again – Brady trusts him. — Adam Kaufman (@AdamMKaufman) November 9, 2017

No one but NE claimed Martellus Bennett because he looks washed and has one foot in retirement. So of course he'll catch a game-winning TD in the playoffs. — Scott Kacsmar (@FO_ScottKacsmar) November 9, 2017
