Eagles got better.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Horrible.

Eagles are even more dominant now. Welp, we got softer on D. Our offense better be pats.

Really. I thought Bennett was washed up.

Thanks Michael! You'll be missed. Today is a sad day, Bennett and probably Sherm too. Sigh.

Thanks for everything you did Michael. We don't win that Superbowl without him.

That means Vinny Curry is gone for sure.

Best of luck, Bennett.

For purely footballing reasons I'm not unhappy to trade him though, I have to say. Mature of the back-office to do this now rather than one year late.

Too many penalties and not nearly consistently disruptive.

Not sure about the WR though. Would much rather have got a round higher and/or kept P.Rich.

Wow what a day! The full rebuild has begun. I will miss Bennett as a player and once again Was big piece to our sb win. The contract extension was a mistake. Is Marcus Johnson any good or is he a camp body?

Camp body.

I'm glad you're so excited about seeing 8.5 sacks and a top 5 shutdown corner get kicked to the curb.

Aw man, I really really like Mike B. Doesn't look like we got much value at all. Do we still have to eat the 5.5M in dead cap?

I would have liked a better pick, but not surprised.

Thanks Bennett for all you did for us Hawk Fans.

LOL to those overvaluing Bennett.

Bye bye big mouth.

Cntl-Alt-Del has begun!!

Fun off season begins! We are players now.

 

[RussB]

Why the Eagles?

Never said I was excited. Horrible drafting and cap management is why this is going to be a big hit. Bennett's time was up here imo but our gm did nothing to fill these holes that are now left. Like I said...rebuild has begun.

Is that a 2018 5th, or next year? Anybody know or heard?

Sorry to lose Mike, hope we have someone who can step up.

The Eagles were really high on Marcus Johnson but he just wasn't good enough to crack the active roster but I think the Eagles found him expendable because they have a similar guy, Shelton Gibson on the roster too.

I think Bennett replaces Vinny Curry. Bennett carries a 5.5M cap number in 2018. Curry has a 11-12M in 2018. So they'll trade or maybe even cut Curry and replace him with Bennett at half the number.
