Report: Eagles Working on Michael Bennett Trade with Patriots
Published:
I think Jeff McLane beat Adam Schefter by 4 minutes:
An #Eagles trade of DE Michael Bennett to the Patriots is going down as of this writing, NFL sources said. Draft picks still be ironed out.

Bennett was on Good Morning Football today, explaining that he did not want to take a pay cut and instead felt like he deserved a raise. I don’t blame him. He had a great year, but he’s 33 years old and the Eagles committed to Brandon Graham and Derek Barnett for the 2019 season.
Edit:
#Eagles are likely to receive a 2020 5th round draft pick from the Patriots for Michael Bennett and a 2020 7th rounder, NFL sources said.
