Does anyone know why we gave Michael Bennett a new contract making him a free agent next year when we could have had control of him for all of next year? Don't we want this guy on our team next year?

I believe it was part of making him happy. Upped his bonus this year and making him a free agent so he behaves here. Getting a player to buy in is important. They did that. This guy has been traded to 2 different teams while on the same contract, from Philly to Patriots to Dallas. Now Bennett has a huge incentive to act right, play right etc.
Bingo.I like it because he is playing for a contract
Could be a draft move. If Bennett walks then the New England pick stays a 7 and Dallas picks up a comp—maybe some scenario like that. Dallas essentially trades a 7 for a higher comp and the price of the rental contract. I’m not sure how it all works.
I think if he’s on the active roster for 3 games, it’s a 6.
We could still get that much in a comp pick now.
