Packers Sign QB Kurt Benkert Three Days After Acquiring Blake Bortles

It's still unclear if Aaron Rodgers will return when the team kicks off OTAs on May 24, but the Packers haven't wasted time adding depth to their quarterback room.

Green Bay signed QB Kurt Benkert just three days after acquiring Blake Bortles. Additionally, the team is rumored to have worked out ex-Broncos quarterback Chad Kelly this weekend at rookie minicamp, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported.

The news comes a day after head coach Matt LaFleur reiterated his desire for Rodgers to stay.

"I've got nothing new to update, and we still obviously feel the same way," the Packers coach said Friday during the team's rookie minicamp.
