Cowboys acquire DE Michael Bennett from Patriots
The lesson of the day: If you create issues as a member of the New England Patriots, they will not hesitate to ship your ass elsewhere.
Just a week after suspending him for conduct detrimental to the team, the Patriots announced Thursday that they have dealt veteran defensive end Michael Bennett to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a conditional 2021 seventh-round draft pick that could potentially become a sixth rounder.
The 31-year old, who was initially acquired by the Patriots in a trade with the Eagles in March 2019, has recorded five combined tackles, and 2.5 sacks in six games and one start this season.
According to reports, the suspension stemmed from a “philosophical disagreement” with defensive line coach Bret Beielema.
