Michael Bennett traded to Eagles

Adam Schefter

One more time: Seahawks are trading DE Michael Bennett and a seventh-round pick to Eagles for a fifth-round pick... fb.me/1y10p6kFL

I have to question the validity of this.

Cap experts here is the link to Michael Bennett's current contract how does that translate to cap hit by the Seahawks and cap space gained by the eagles.

Salaries go to the Eagles. Seahwaks keep bonus money as dead cap.

Philly has lapped us twice since our 2016 season smh



*waits for a homer to spin this as not a big deal*

Hey man Stephen is still trying to understand how this whole trade business works...

by 2020 we will be on the prowl

 

[jrumann59]

looks like the Eagles are 9 million over the cap right now and will need to make some moves...

Howie running rings around Jerry........

So they are taking a 6.6M hit with his contract.

 

[HungryLion]

The eagles didn’t give up much for him. So that’s a positive for them.
Bennett is old though too.

So it’s not so much a long term move. Just reloading to try and win another one soon.

 

[Direwolf63]

Glad we didn't trade for him. He is a blow-hard, self-righteous, jack-***, cancer of a team-mate/person.

I agree. I would not want him on my team.

But the principle that the Eagles keep trying to get better even after they win a Lombardi while the Cowboys do squat is still valid.

Have the Cowboys called the Seahawks about Earl Thomas? I seriously doubt it.

 

[dckid]

Eagles just got better and improve their pass rush.

However, Jerry probably wants another cornerback to improve his team’s pass rush.

Let me start coming up with the excuses for Jerry:
-He is too outspoken.
-He took a knee
-We have Taco our war daddy
-Salary Cap concerns... We have been hearing that since 1994. Have we ever been ok under the cap?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Wow. Good deal again for them. I guess we are in watch and wait mode.

That's all we ever do, watch other teams get better, why we think resigning our own will get the job done when it didnt last season.

Actually I am sure they have but I also believe the Seahawks want to keep him unless someone offers some good draft capital.

 

[HellCrowe]

I have to question the validity of this.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

I'm sure one day they will be in salary cap hell....right guys???

This, they never get in cap hell while we are still trying to savage the cap from when TO was here.

isnt that the point? Win one every year?

Im not trying to make a dynasty at least win the dang thing once in a decade is that too much to ask for?

The rich do indeed get richer.

LMAO

Got Timmy Jernigan for peanuts last year and Michael Bennett for peanuts this year. Meanwhile the Cowboys refuse to do work in the trade market.
