After meeting with the coaching staff and touring the facilities, it quickly became clear to the former Pro Bowl tight end that Green Bay is where he wanted to play.
“I’ve been fortunate to play for several historic franchises,” said Bennett shortly after signing.
“Just the history and the legends that played here – to step on the same grass that they did and the same locker room they did, wearing the same uniforms as a lot of those before me have worn is going to be pretty cool.”
The 6-foot-6, 275-pound tight end started his career with Dallas in 2008 before stops with the New York Giants, Chicago Bears and New England Patriots, where he won a Super Bowl ring this past season.
