ORLANDO, Fla. — While Eagles vice president Howie Roseman was discussing the third-degree felony charge against defensive end Michael Bennett with reporters at the NFL Meetings in Orlando, Bennett was in the process of posting $10,000 bail in Houston.
Attorney Rusty Hardin said Bennett’s defense against the charge of striking an elderly paraplegic security guard in the aftermath of Super Bowl LI will be that “he just flat out didn’t do it.”
Hardin maintained that nearly everyone in the New England Patriots’ “family” section was trying to figure out how to get on the field at NRG Stadium, including Bennett, whose brother Martellus played tight end for the victorious Patriots.
