The New England Patriots acquired DE Michael Bennett and a 2020 7th-round pick from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2020 5th-round pick.

Philly was willing to cut Bennett to get his $7.2 million salary cap hit off their books, so getting something back in a trade is good business.

The deal could bode well for New England, who will get an aging 33-year-old but still productive pass rusher at a relatively cheap price.
