SBLIII Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 This is good. Still hope we can get Flowers back but if not Bennett and a great edge class should do it. Good player on a reasonable caphit acquired for probably next to nothing. Belichickian move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggbrd Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Don't like the bit in the Patspulpit article about him wanting a pay raise, but otherwise I would imagine one has to be fairly pleased with this assuming the compensation isn't ridiculous.

So essentially free, cool. I know Ernie Adams is a huge fan of Bennett - that's clear in the Do You Job documentary. EDIT: Also spells, even more clearly, that Flowers is gone.

PatriotsWin! Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Interesting trade considering the personality but I'm sure we will make it work if he's still producing. Hope we can still get Flowers re-signed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guesses on the picks? His base salary for 2019 is $6.2M. That's a ridiculous bargain for a pass rusher who is still playing at a high level. His play merits getting paid the over/under at $10M AAV and that still might be too low. I can't stand the guy. He's one of the worst scums in the entire league, but he's also been the closest thing to Richard Seymour since Richard Seymour so I'll take this medicine....

ChazStandard Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Apparently the Pats are shopping Clayborn - makes sense since he was pretty much a non-factor last year. However bringing in Bennett to then ditch Clayborn doesn't really change things roster wise. What's Clayborn's cap hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A run this year with Gronk and both Bennett's in tow before they all retire seems realistic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfournier103 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I’m not crazy about this. I’d rather the Patriots keep Flowers, Gronkowski, and draft. Does anyone remember Michael Bennett from Super Bowl XLIX? Not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
