SBLIII Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 for 1 game now the question becomes do we trade him or does he return for week 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Quote "On Friday, I had a philosophical disagreement with my position coach that has led to my suspension," Bennett said in a statement to ESPN. "I apologize to my teammates for any distraction this may have caused." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemushrooms Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Uh....not a good look. Doubt Bennett is cool with this and sending out an apology unless he just 1 day road raged. Very likely we end up trading/cutting him. To be honest, I'm always surprised when we can't figure out a way to work guys like Bennett into our defense. We play to each person's strengths better than any team in the NFL. How the f can we not find a way to get Bennett in there??? I get we have very specific plays and schemes but damn...

The Third Rider Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Seems that he just wants to play more, his snap count has diminished since week 1. Edited October 16, 2019 by The Third Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazStandard Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Has his snap count been that low? He’s got like 5 sacks, hasn’t he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody on this team has a full time role rushing the passer. No doubt it is and will always be the crappy attitude.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I don't think there are many Patriots fan that are rooting him on anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they can get back on the same page, or if not they can get something decent in a trade. Spotrac says he has $4mil dead cap charge... I have no idea how the NFL salary cap works, how does that pan out if we trade him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChazStandard Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Why are there trade rumours about him at all? He's been decent, and the D is playing out of its mind. Weakening the strength of the team in order to bolster the offense is a mistake IMO. Besides, I've been around the NFL long enough to know you don't play fast and loose with your depth. The DAY they trade Bennett away, suddenly Wise will turn his ankle, or Butler will tweak a hammy and just like that a position of great depth is being held together with sticky tape. I trust Brady to run a decent offence with patches more than luck with injuries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
