Benkert commented on the news via his Twitter account.
Life man ud83eudd1fud83cudffc. I appreciate everything that came with being a Packer.
Equally as excited to see what’s next, can’t wait to get to work. https://t.co/cGxZhSo1Yg

Danny Etling, a first year quarterback out of Louisiana State , must have made an impression this offseason for the Packers to move on from Benkert, who showed promise last preseason.
