Martellus Bennett signs with Green Bay

However, the Packers, who had a need at tight end with Jared Cook in line to depart, signed Bennett Friday.

Now, he has unveiled his landing spot.

While in New England, Bennett won a Super Bowl in only his second career postseason appearance. He earned the respect of many of his teammates by playing through an ankle injury initially sustained on October 9.

Martellus Bennett is having himself an eventful 30th birthday. He’s also a solid blocker.

Last offseason, Green Bay signed Perry to a one-year “prove it” deal worth $5 million, and the deal appears to have paid off for both sides.

Perry nearly shed the injury bug a year ago, missing 2 games with his broken hand, but still leading the Packers with 11 sacks, while being their best outside linebacker against the run.

There is still some mystery about who will be throwing passes to Pryor, but Kirk Cousins’ agent, Mike McCartney, tweeted that the quarterback signed his contract for the exclusive franchise tag. It also includes roster bonuses of $4.3 million in 2018 (payable the third day of the league year) and $4.8 million in 2019 (third day of the league year). Financial terms of the deal have yet to be released.

The five-year deal matches what Packer Report was told was being offered by the Jets. Cooks will reportedly not re-sign with the Packers. In Peppers’ three seasons with the Packers, he racked up 25 sacks while playing in every possible game. They’ve added fullback Patrick DiMarco, guard Vladimir Ducasse, kicker Stephen Hauschka, safety Micah Hyde and safety Jordan Poyer. That’s how you cash in on a contract year. While he did not become a part of another productive two tight end attack, he did his job despite struggling with an ankle injury throughout the season.
