Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty ImagesThe Philadelphia Eagles made an unpopular move on Friday afternoon by trading Michael Bennett to the New England Patriots. Here are some thoughts on this deal and what it means moving forward.
The Eagles are worse off now that Bennett is gone. He was great for the Eagles in 2018.
Regular season stats: 716 snaps, 34 tackles, 9 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 20 QB hits, 37 QB hurries, 1 pass deflection
Playoff stats: 115 snaps, 5 tackles, 1 sack, 2 QB hits, 7 QB hurries
He finished second on the Eagles in sacks last year with nine. Bennett also ranked 21st out of 109 edge defenders in PFF’s pressure rate. He had the second most quarterback hits in the NFL.
