Ugh.. I hate this with a passion guys. Never mind the offsides, but there is a reason why the Hawks are kicking this tool to the curb. Why mess with the chemistry?

Curry will be gone soon. Hope Howie can get a 7th round pick or whatever for him. To get anything will be great, to keep from one of our division rivals to get him for nothing. He is a good player.

If Howie and Doug think this is a good move then I believe it is. He is a good player and I think he will fit in fine here. He got let go for nothing and will be playing for a contract somewhere else so we should get one of his best years. hehe

Seahawks seem to be clearing out the outspoken players, Eagles seem to support them instead. Got him for a 5th, thats a good deal.

He is a distraction and really can screw up this locker room quickly. I'm sure the Eagles could have looked other options. And he has injury issues and 32yrs old. Let's not think for a second all of this is worth the potential trouble heading our way.

I'm in favor of this trade and I think we'll be better off without Curry .

Overly dramatic much? They have Jenkins and Long in that locker room, both of whom are outspoken, you're acting like Bennett is some sort of legal case waiting to happen, he just talks.

All of this.

So the guy likes to talk... does he dominate offensive tackles?

It is a win/win deal. If he works out - great. And, if he is a problem, they can cut him next year, and save cap room. I think he only gets paid $1.6M this season.

base salary:

Michael Bennett

Do any of the other bonuses count towards the Eagles, or just the Hawks?

Bennett makes half what Curry makes so I am told and apparently Curry wasn't keen on restructuring. I expect they will get back at least a 5th in a trade. This is a Cap move. Howie made a mistake giving Curry too much in his contact.

As I said, if he is a distraction, or not very good anymore, t worst case, they cut him next year, and not suffer a huge cap hit. I think he will thrive in our system, and will enjoy a rotation, which will keep him from double teams.

The Eagles would owe his roster and per game bonuses, so he'd have a cap hit of $6.65M

So that plus the dead money from Curry makes him more expensive than Curry.

For this year, yes, but next year Bennett's cap number will be $7M and Curry's would have been $11.25M.

I wonder if the Eagles can convert the roster bonus this year to a signing bonus and spread the cap hit out.
