Green Bay Packers fans can’t complain about general manager Ted Thompson not signing any impact free agents this offseason.
Tight end Martellus Bennett, who was with the New England Patriots last season, signed with the Packers according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That signing came right after reports that the Packers would likely not be re-signing Jared Cook. It turns out, they had a better option coming in.
Bennett had 701 yards and seven touchdowns last season, playing a key role for the Super Bowl champion Patriots. He should be a great fit with Aaron Rodgers, and he has the chance to put up some big numbers in Green Bay’s offense.
