What you say about Bennett - that would be me too. The competitor in me would never be happy or meh with a loss.I’m always reminded of the year we picked up Bennett. After a significant loss, he said the culture was completely different from the Patriots and that the locker room was essentially toxic, immature, misguided, spoiled, soft, and downright putrid. He spoke on contracts briefly as well if I recall (an obvious attack at someone). He was frustrated and eventually retired from football after the season. The locker room quite literally ended his love for the game as he saw the state of his final NFL team and fled from football forever.
There's a tiny problem with your story, though, as it hints at Bennett playing for Dallas in his last season. He actually started his career with Dallas and moved on to 5 other teams before ending up with the Patriots. He didn't quit football out of frustration either, he actually ended his career on a high note - a super bowl win with the Patriots in 2016, and played in another one in 2017
