Signed by Cowboys Cowboys trade for Michael Bennett

[Irvin88_4life]

I am not trying to be an *** but how do you know he hasn’t relapse, are you a personal friend or have first hand knowledge. Yes he took longer before has you said because he was actually recovering. This time was suppose to just be a missed test so there shouldn’t be any reason to delay the filing. And if there is one the only thing I can think of is that he has had a relapse.

Hey I hope I am wrong but for him to wait is a very serious red flag to me.

Last time he applied he was clean for almost 2 years so no he wasn't recovering

Does he have anything left in the tank?

It's worth a 7th round pick just to find out.

Bennett is Done or the Pats would never have trade him !

Funny how you say it's a Cowboy forum, but personal lives are being dissected. What effect does his personal life have on his contribution to the game?

Bc poor character goes hand in hand with poor work ethic and inter personal relationships.

New England is cutting him bc why?

Brother you are totally missing the point I guess just to reenforce your opinion. The last time he was suspended for failing a test so he needed to go to rehab, that’s a recovering addict. This last suspension was reportedly from just missing a test. My point is again if it’s just from missing a test, then there is no need to get things in order to reapply. You just simply reapply as soon as you can because you are clean. But he hasn’t and it’s been over two months now. What in the **** does he have to get in order if it’s just a missed test that takes this long.

Look you believe what you want to but I have this gut feeling you will be thinking back to this discussion. Again I truly hope I’m wrong.

Pease brother!

an absolute steal!!! THE GUY can play DT too. a true beast when his mind is right.

he's about to be 34

he was a beast years ago. this is just backup depth because Dorance Armstrong sucks and Gregory is still missing

 

[TheTruthIsOutThere]

How many players do the patriots trade away end up doing anything when they leave?

He has things like going to doctor/therapist etc. Everything isn't as cut and dry.

But that's cool it's much funnier to speculate and say jokes about him smoking weed. He has mental issues, it's not always about getting high

Well you might better get used to dealing with the Pats you might see more of it Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft are best of friends Jerry actually helped Robert lay out the blueprint for the Patriots when he became their owner he leaned on Jerry heavily. And very quickly the student became the master I'm talking business side of things

My main issue with doing business is that they don't need more help than they've got. Though, conceding a 7 is a good deal for Bennett.

Virtually no risk because if he doesn't work out this year they cut him save 8.25 million and if I'm not mistaken just the rest of his 6.25 million this year? I would like to see if he could rotate inside as well I

 

[CB61]

I did not know that about those two.

They are like two peas in a pod except Jerry felt a little bit out of favor after he fully endorsed the Tom Brady suspension

 

[CB61]

I guess time will tell if that works out for us or not he's a little bit of an odd character but his football skills are pretty good just hope he doesn't disrupt this team if anything's I hope he instills a little more nastiness on this defense

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

I’m with you. Bennett goes into my Deion Sanders / Terrell Owens category. I’m going to focus on the star and try to forget the player.

And yeah, those tiny pads annoy the crap out of me, not sure why.

I remember the SB winning Giants D-lineman (Justin Tuck, Osi and crew) would all wear super tight pads and it made sense (less for Oline to grab), and looked a bit intimidating too with their mask styles. Bennett took it to another extreme to the point it looks dumb.

 

[DC Cowboy]

What? Can he play DT........

In pass rush situations

 

[Cover 2]

I still hate the tight jersey he wears but glad to have him

Why? It makes it harder to hold him. Especially since so many blatant holds go uncalled.

 

[Fastpitch Dad]

I absolutely cannot stand the guy. He's a first class punk in my book.

But he's also the right move for this d line. And the price was right.

Just gonna be hard for me to root for him even though he makes up better IMO.
