Patriots Trade for Michael Bennett

[Snooky97]

We can still sign flowers as well i imagine. It will just be working out the Cap Hit for this season, plus we have extensions and restructures coming

 

[RobertWeathers]

Either Flowers is gone or BB saw enough of Foghorn Clayborn.

 

[long distance]

Too predictable for betting.. It just had to happen. Nice to see it actually happening..

EDIT: Signed through 2020 - 15M over two years . nothing guaranteed.
He looked like he had at least another good year in him.
If not its probably just a swap of picks..

Bennett could take the place of Adrian Clayborn on the line. ALSO LETS GO GET MARTY B

Clayborn is great as long as the QB Doesn't move! Hope its a replacement for Clayborn rather than flowers

 

[SBLIII]

replacement for Clayborn imo. Flowers still in play.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

He still is playing at a very high level, great move

 

[ScottishPatriots]

He already said publicly he's not taking a pay cut so Trey will be gone.

 

[Zuma]

He probably has no idea....but still...

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Any chance this means Martellus unretires too? More excited about that prospect.

 

[cstjohn17]

Hard to see Flowers go smh...I hope by some miracle we still resign him

Yep, bye bye Flowers

 

[SBLIII]

well his caphit is 7 and we save 4 by cutting Clayborn. Just a 3 million difference really.

Please tell me it comes with Marty. PLEASE!

I would have preferred to keep Flowers. But he isn't a bad consolation prize.

His contract situation is really good. 7.2M and 8M with nothing guaranteed. He is an easy no risk trade. I hope it is for no more than a 5th if they were going to cut him anyway.

 

[manxman2601]

This gives us a chance to draft the long-term Flowers replacement without the pressure of them having to produce straight away.

 

[supafly]

Wonder how his demands for more money are going to be seen? He openly “warned” any team that traded for him, yesterday.

Michael Bennett wants a raise

 

[SHOWTIME15]

How can we be certain that Flowers is gone?

 

[Froob]

Great pickup. Had a nice year in Philly.
