Michael Bennett and 7th round pick to Eagles for 5th round pick and WR Marcus Johnson

[Davis_Mike]

This value seems about right. The Seahawks basically moved up a round and a half while getting an UDFA WR who is rarely used, for Bennett.

I laugh at anyone who thinks Bennett is worth more than that.

 

[Cave_Johnson]

On paper this sure looks like Seattle got screwed in this trade. Maybe this is all anybody was willing to give up for Bennett though.

Sure hope this means Seattle re-signs Richardson now.

NFC East teams working on their QB cadences as we speak......

He is almost a better automatic 5 yards than Flozell Adams used to be for the opposition in the other direction.....

I think this is in the same territory as Marcus Peters. He is good but there is definitely a history of penalties.

(Peters being worth more because of age obv)

OMFG NOOOO!! Just got this on my twitter. Fuck I hate this with a passion. Why? Ugh!!

Yeah, Howie's on the shit list!

 

[mcnabb7542]

The same reason why Hawks fans won't miss him. Character issues and locker room distraction just part of the problem.

Don't forget the 10 offsides calls he averages a game!

The offsides are the least of my concerns. He is a major distraction imo.

i just got a very angry "was a nice run" text from an eagles fan about this.

LMFAO

 

[R.J. MacReady]

I don't get this.

You won the SB, a sure contender this year ...why go anywhere near a baggage guy.
Eagles have virtually no drama queens on their squad. Why start now.

IMO Bennett regressed substantially in 2017. He dealt with a number of injury issues, but given his age I'm not sure what kind of production you can expect from him in 2018.

Eagles landed him right in time for his upcoming book release:

Exactly!

Tightly knit team that has a lot of fun together. Let's bring in a jackass to screw that up.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Honestly more then I thought he would be worth.

 

[Battlelyon]

He will be perfect for the Eagles

 

[mcnabb7542]

I knew this was going to happen, I just had that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach...

And meanwhile Curry is surely gone now. I at least would see if he would take less to stay before making a boneheaded trade for a potential cancer to the locker room. This blows my mind. WTF Howie?

 

[Iggloo]

He makes less than Vinny Curry who will now be traded. Or just cut. I think we can all agree he is better. But he is old. One or two year rental.

 

[Center Ice]

Eagles might have a good team next year.

Hope so but..........Wentz???????????????????????????

Yeah it saves on "cap" but what does it do to the way these guys are together, tight group......

 

[Battlelyon]

Are these guys ready for some fun?

 

[Iggloo]

I think there is a risk but Philly has a bunch of guys like Malcolm Jenkins and Chris Ling who agree with Bennett on politics and will help him adjust. More worried about his health and declining production than his politics or attitude.
