Has anyone heard this rumor... Ravens trying to trade for Bennett?

[erich1r]

I have even heard things as far as the Ravens trading a possible pick to Dallas for TE Martellus Bennett. This is from si.com

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

You should Email DallasCowboys.com. They'd totally answer that in their next "Mailbag" segment.

Would have to say false. He was what a 2nd round pick? And showed loads of potential so we would have to at least get that pick back and more.

 

[Hostile]

Not a chance. They have Todd Heap and they love the guy.

 

[NeonNinja]

Seeing how we used a 2nd and he has a ton of potential and his best play ahead of us, I could only see a 1st as being acceptable on our end. That isn't going to happen imo.

 

[Disturbed]

I'd say it would be false, but then they traded Fasano for a 2nd. And I was shocked by that trade....so who knows.

Wish they would cut Greg Ellis who is slated to make a fortune this year as he gets older and slower. Not worth half his salary. Please cut him....the sooner the better.

Bennett is better than Fasano ... IMHO

They can use 2 or 3 TE sets and still love Todd Heap.

Anyways, I hope it's just a rumor. Bennett has a great upside.

I hope the coaches can take better advantage of it.

So the question is Martellus Bennett worth the Ravens 1st.

lol, why not.

Hypothetically speaking, say a late 1st isn't out of the question but who would be there for the Ravens choice.

Might actually pull the trigger on a deal like that for a WR Darrius Hayward-Bey or a legit Left Tackle.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

The way things work at VR, they would probably send Bennett and throw in Austin for a 6th and switch places in the the 7th. A couple of days later, some on here would be calling a coup for Jerry and how he got one over on Ozzie Newsome.

 

[CATCH17]

The guy shows so much potential that I doubt Dallas would even trade him for a late 1st now that we've seen him get on the field.

 

[Jon88]

There's no way. Bennett has a lot of potential and we'll be using him a lot more now that TO is gone.

At least a 1st would be the starting price. However, this is a year that no team really wants a 1st rd pick considering that more than 75% are expected to hold out until the season starts.

Fasano and Akin were packaged together for a 4th.


Unless the Ravens give up their first rounder anything less is garbage. I still probably would have to think about it. Marty B baby!

The first rounder could come in and pull a Bobby Carpenter, then we're left with Jason Witten and Hannah Montana.

 

[MWILL]

Can't wait for the Draft to come. hboy:

It'll answer alot of the zoners questions about this team.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Not a chance. They have Todd Heap and they love the guy.

As much as they "love" him, he hasn't done anything in years. I know their QB situation has been shaky, but he managed to put up big numbers a few years, so what happened to him? The Roy Williams(38) affect!!..I could see them being interested in a 21 year old TE with loads of potential..Todd Heap is finished.

 

[Disturbed]

The only way this runor has any legs is if it is because of Bennett's poor attitude and lack of respect for the coaching staff. Bennett has a pro body but a five cent head....shown on HBO last summer.

I must admit that program which showcased his poor attitude and lack of respect made me care less about this player. He may be a cancer like many of the players we finally got rid of this offseason.

I say we trade Bennett to the Ravens in exchange for Ray "The Killer" Lewis!!!

Not.

Whoa. That is pretty harsh.
He's just a kid. Fun-loving and wild at times and it makes him rough around the edges. But, again, he's just a kid. He will grow out of it.

Like you were so perfect when you were in your early 20s and pulling down millions.
