He's a piece of ****, but if he can play some type of role in getting ring #7, then cool. The media better not bombard us with headlines of stupid sh*t he says specifically to get headlines.

Yep. Keep your ****ing mouth shut, and help us pass ****sburgh. They already freaked out when we tied them.

I could be wrong but hasn't Belichick pulled this before as in Ron Brace when Wilfork was doubtful to resign and Marquise Hill with Seymour. I realize Bennett is an actual player instead of a size-alike, but he's old and they could easily carry him a year or two.

Personally I'm ok with the talk. I had no idea the police "proved" Michael Bennett "lied". Insightful news.

He's old..maybe he has something left idk. Sucks that Flowers is probably gone

 

[RayClay]

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

He was a bust, mostly. If they gave credits for running way past the QB and out of the play, he'd be all pro.

and this. Las Vegas Police Prove Michael Bennett Lied About Racism Charges. i hate the fact hes going to have a patriots jersey on.

JFC what difference does a players politics have on the football field? Do they wear different jerseys based on their political views?

Also, did you just rate your own post "winner?" I didn't even know you could do that, lol.

Reading a little about the Bennett/Schiano relationship worries me a little. Hope those two can work together. Not sure if Bennett has matured or Schiano has softened. Maybe BB can be the soft center between two hard cookies.

I mean he had 12 sacks last year

Disagreeing with his decision to allegedly lie about getting brutally attacked by police goes beyond simply disagreeing with his politics.

It's not rocket science, the Pats will keep him fresh and he'll cause a lot of trouble in the pocket. GREAT MOVE...IMO of course.

 

[Raymond]

I like the player he may be on the Pats. I am not liking who he may be as a person.

I don't expect altar boys but, I'll get over it.

I can handle anyone who hasn’t whined about the Patriots cheating. That’s too far for me root for, regardless of the uniform, and why I hated James Harrison and was glad the Patrick Peterson trade fell through.

 

[Flash]

Gotta be real difficult rooting for a guy that lied about being attacked by the police, almost ruining those policemen's lives.

Good thing the Patriots can cut him with $0 dead cap whenever. If he performs at a high level it's a bonus.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

What player has come here that had past issues and been a disaster and major locker room distraction? None that I can remember. Gordon relapsed but was a good locker room guy. So I am sure Bennett will bring his skill set here and learn and enjoy the Patriot Way. They all do. Hell he may even lure Marty with him. Whatever issues and comments he had in the past will have no reflection on the Patriots. Water under the bridge.

Philly doesn't have a lot of cap space even w Foles off the books and for Roseman to be creative or active in free agency, they needed to clear some cap space, ergo moving Bennett.. I go to see a few Eagles games last year and Bennett didn't play like a guy in his 30s..... I like this.. if we can just keep him out of casinos.....

I know they said they need to free up cap space but if so, why was it this contract?

Even with him they're still something like 22 million below their cap. If they really feel a need to dump a contract I think Agholer makes more sense. 9.4 million on a #2 WR?

To me that makes a lot more sense. So again I am left asking why drop the better player with the better contract and lower salary?

Great post.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Time for bb to bear down and get flowers back in the fold.

Sign flowers, draft nt Lawrence of Clemson and our front seven is going to be brutal.

In his defense I think it was captain stone who rated it a winner.
