Patriots Trade for Michael Bennett

[Mack Herron]

The money's not bad as is, but the baggage (age, attitude, incidents) sucks.

I think it should be viewed from the perspective of best available Flowers replacement, unfortunately. Perhaps Trey came back with numbers.

Wonder how his demands for more money are going to be seen?

Michael Bennett wants a raise

Thats his agent answering to the pay cut calls from PHI. Since there are no guarantees in his contract left both might be interested in restructure w Pats having all the leverage.. Current cap hit of 7.2M might get even lower..

Great pickup. Had a nice year in Philly.

Would much rather have Flowers

They can still keep Flowers if they want. Brady ,D-Mac, can extend their contracts to lower their Cap Hits to bring flowers back. Still plenty of time.

 

[Froob]

Would much rather have Flowers

Yeah and Flowers will cost like double.

 

[manxman2601]

We’ll get those back on the draft.

 

[Wheelman]

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

I'm looking forward to seeing the unblockable Michael Bennett in XLIX. Are my expectations too high?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Wow!! If we resign flowers i feel really really good about next year

 

[long distance]

In BB terms (esp. in re. to 5th rounders) . its for free..
One insignificant trade down this year will cover this..

 

[manxman2601]

Cam Wake would make for an interesting DL.

 

[Rob0729]

Good acquistion if the Pats didn't give too much. Bennett is still a solid player, but he is at the end of the line. He is cheap though for this year.

 

[patsinthesnow]

That’s more or less the equivalent of a 2019 7th round pick. In return, Bennett doesn’t count in the comp pick formula.

 

[Brady_Moss]

Please tell me it comes with Marty. PLEASE!

Brothers on the same team does seem to be a good trend for us since 2018...lets keep it going Bill!!

 

[Zuma]

Simon may be 1-2 mil. So that's a decent amount saved if Clayborn is cut and Simon isnt re-signed

 

[BobDigital]

Love it! Just the value I wanted.

Does anyone know why Philly wanted to get rid of him anyway? I mean for the type of player he is 7.2 and 8M with nothing guaranteed is a good deal. Do they really have no other contracts they can dump? I am just wondering what is causing the Eagles to let go of him.

 

[Zarozzor]

I don't know if I can fap to thism but I'm damn sure going to try

 

[Deus Irae]

I think it should be viewed from the perspective of best available Flowers replacement, unfortunately. Perhaps Trey came back with numbers.

Flopping a 5 and 7 next , combined with the deal not being guaranteed, makes it pretty much a nothing cost. So, while I don't really want the guy, I don't not want the guy, if you know what I mean.

 

[TN patriot fan]

Damn! I'm kinda conflicted on this. Lol

I'm more than kinda. Older generally does not beat younger.

Simon may be 1-2 mil. So that's a decent amount saved if Clayborn is cut and Simon isnt re-signed

I sure hope Simon is re-signed! One of my top wishes for this FA..
