Yeah, typical Pats. A fine replacement for Flowers at a much cheaper price. They'll likely get a 3rd round comp pick back for Flowers as well and this won't affect the formula at all since it's a trade.

Michael was quoted in good morning football that he was looking for a pay increase. See how he fares with that in NE.

Great move, puts pressure on Folwers (who wants to stay in NE) to take a team friendly deal since they have a replacement for him if needed

I find when guys end up on the Pats they are all of a sudden fine with their salary.

They still could bring back Flowers and if they can make the money work, they should.
With their great secondary, having two guys who can get to the QB like Flowers and Bennett would make the D that much better.

Good point, seems to me tho they told him if he wants to win, he can go to the Pats but forget about the raise.

I don't see Belichick paying Flowers that with the depth at this position in this draft. Unless he is willing to come back for like 10m, maybe 12m, he's gone. And as much as it's going to suck, I really don't care because at this point because questioning anything Belichick does in regards to the trade or free agent market would just be totally ignorant.

That’s what preseason is for, to see if he can still play.
As a fan since Jim Plunkett, Bennett can come back anytime. With Allen gone we need a TE. Grab another TE and Bennett and Gronk can swap with each other keeping them both well rested through the season,
One of the funnier football moments I can recall.

Flowers is gone, they will not give him the money he is going to be offered. I am actually more concerned with the O line then the D Line. With Waddle and Brown up for grabs, it concerns me. IMO the entire O Line was the MVP last season. Hopefully Wynn can make an injury comeback and at least fill Waddle’s shoes.
True. Think that’s more for guys who have not won yet which Bennett has back in seattle. Nearing the end so last chance to get paid as well.

I love him off the field. It’s gonna be a 50/50 split with that stuff, but if he plays well everyone will like him.

I think this might have more to do with his brother. Just spitballing but I think there has been a desire to play with each other and NE is about the only team that could make it happen. Martellus left on good terms unlike how he left Chicago and Green Bay. If any team will give Martellus a chance, it’s NE and they are in need.

DE Bennett calls Belichick the 'Yoda of football'
"From a football perspective there's a respect for Belichick," Bennett said. "I consider him the Yoda of football when it comes to the ins and outs of what's happening around how to prepare for a game."
