smart move by the pats

It sounds like it’s exactly what we gave up for him, swapping 5th and 7th rounders.

they are letting trey flowers walk so they are getting a pass rusher for much cheaper

Plus they will get a 3rd rd comp pick for Flowers. Then when Bennett leaves next year they will get another 3rd rd pick. The needed a starting DE and boom they got one.

Interesting dynamics

It's past high time for this FO to do something noteworthy to facilitate a decent pass rush this year!!

Bargain basement deals really don't "feed the bulldog." Are you even paying attention, front office?

The Pats routine get guys like that at bargain basement rates. How hard would it be to outbid 'em?

Pats don’t usually leak info. Did this info come from the Happy Ending Massage parlor.

Bennett has 2 years left on his contract and comp picks are based on what you sign for in free agency. No one is giving a 35 year old DE top of the line, 20+m$ a year money required to get a 3rd rounder back.

We never had Michael Bennett, his brother Martellus was our TE briefly.

Even better. They get him for 2 years. I bet the pick they receive when he leaves is better than the one they gave up to get him.

Churn comp picks. If you're always drafting late, you have to make up value somehow.

I think we work pretty hard on that too.
