Danger Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Curry > Bennett Bennett has a slight edge on pure pass rushing, but Curry is a better all around defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjapirate Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 this trade pretty much means we are going to take a player that will contribute next year in the first and not someone to be the second back up OL because Peters might be gone in 2019.

I think either Curry or Bennett wouldn't be here in '19. We just hot the one who is cheaper (and may fit a little better as a 3rd down interior rusher) for 2018.

EAGLES3658 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I don't think there is any chance that BG gets traded. Bennett is going to be a short time guy. They wouldn't trade a long term guy like Graham to make room for a guy who may only be here 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 the only way the BG stuff has any truth is if behind the scenes he's told them he's holding out and they can't/won't meet his demand. Or if they got a pretty sweet offer and are barely getting nibbles on Curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's all we're paying and we cut him after this season, then it could be a cheap 1 year filler kind of player. Check that 4 mil roster bonus...

Hockey5djh Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 So....I'm really kind of cunfused by this move. Yes, Curry is set to make 11 mil this year and carrys 6 mil in dead money (aka we save 5 mil by cutting him) Bennett is not making only 1.65 mil, He's going to make 5.65 mil when that 4 mil roster bonus kicks in. At the end of the day trading for Bennett and cutting Curry would actually COST the Eagles 650k in cap space. Now I get that Bennett is the better player but he's also 3 years older with a slightly more managable cap number going forward. I think i'm going to wait for the other official shoe to drop with our D line before juding this move fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

808 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Really guys, has Howie not earned the benefit of the doubt? He just constructed a roster that won SB LII. We might be in the process of contruscting another championship roster. Judge this move after all the others moves are made this offseason.
