The rich get richer. Michael Bennett traded to the Eagles for a fifth rounder and a WR.

At 33, Seattle may have won this deal.  Bennett at this age is like getting the hangover after missing the party.

Yeah, the age is a big red flag. And no one mention Peppers here. Peppers is a damn freak of nature. Michael Bennett is NOT Julius Peppers.

I don't want another stop gap DE unless we know Peppers isn't returning. If Peppers comes back we have a solid rotation with Peppers, Addison, Horton, and hopefully a much improved Hall after a full year in the NFL under his belt. I hate to say it, but honestly losing CJ is addition by subtraction at this point.

For Marcus Johnson and a fifth rounder? Eagles are in win now mode. Not much of a risk there from what I can tell. Now they can parlay trading Vinny Curry to replace what they gave up for Bennett.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
