Cowboys Trade Draft Pick To Patriots For Defensive End Michael Bennett Following Suspension
FRISCO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - It's a bye week so the Dallas Cowboys have made a trade.
Defensive End Michael Bennett is coming to the Cowboys from the Patriots, the Cowboys confirm.
Bennett, 34, had just finished serving a week-long suspension after a disagreement with his defensive line coach, according to the Boston Globe.
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter tweeted Thursday afternoon, "New England is trading DE Michael Bennett to the Dallas Cowboys for 7th-round pick that can go to a 6th-round pick in 2021, league sources tell
@Schultz_Report and me.
Last season during the bye week, the Cowboys traded for wide receiver Amari Cooper.
Bennett played college football at Texas A&M, and signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2009.
He has also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles.
More to come.
