Peter King MMQB Mailbag: Now this isn't a bad idea... Martellus Bennett to Pats?

[WoodysGirl]

MONDAY MORNING QB - TUESDAY MMQB Mailbag:

• NOW THIS ISN'T A BAD IDEA. From Bernie Allen of Starlight, Pa.: "Regarding the Patriots TE predicament, I see that the Pats have three second-round picks in the upcoming draft. Any chance they send one to Dallas for Martellus Bennett? Bennett has the talent and I read that Dallas turned down a first-round pick trade offer for him last year pre-draft. I can't help but think that if that offer came this year, Jones and Co. would be all over it.''

Maybe. I know two things: Jerry Jones loves Martellus Bennett. And Bennett was a major disappointment last year. If Bill Belichick made an offer of a second-round pick for Bennett, the Cowboys would likely think hard about it -- and turn it down. That's my guess.

No way in hell we trade Bennett....Not going to happen.

 

[Gaede]

[JustDezIt]

i wish

i would rather him rot on our bench then go to the pats and breakout

 

[theogt]

I hear he's not a good blocker.

Who Belichek? He is a little limited when it comes down to blocking those quicker pass rushing OLBs.

 

[Stash]

Unmotivated, immature, underachiever?

Yeah, has Patriots written all over it...

 

[burmafrd]

well they took Moss so I guess its possible.

 

[BAZ]

Why would they go for that? Belichick doesn't make out like a bandit in that deal.

Bennett for a 2nd? I think any team that gets Bennett for a 2nd is making out like a bandit. By his 3rd and 4th seasons he should be reaching his potential and if you featured him as a #1 receiving TE, you'd probably seems some incredible production.

If he can stay off the twiters and whatnot.

This is a year where we dont need to stockpile picks! We have a lot of talent Bennet included. Why start giving talented players away for players we hope pan out? Bennet has a lot of potential. Jerry will give him another year before he thinks of trading him.

With 1 team or in his career?

Gotta mean 1 team because it's taken the idiot this long and he hasn't even learned the entire playbook yet.

Link?

 

[Stash]

Link?

Watch a game this past season.

Pick one.

Any one.

You'll find at least one play where somebody has to line him up or tell him where to go.

Marty B - too much facebook, not enough playbook.

How cute.

Wait a second. Are you guys saying you were pulling my leg and there isn't a link?

Gosh, you guys.

Gosh, you guys.

This is the 1st time you've heard of Bennett not knowing plays?

Where ya been?

I'm saying take the blinders off.

Honestly, I've only heard it here on the boards. Haven't seen any reports to confirm that.

As for watching games, yes, I've seen Romo directing guys. That's what QBs do.

The question I ask is does anyone know what Romo was saying or why? I'm pretty sure no one here knows, so really it's just speculation and opinion rather than anything based on facts.
