COWBOYS BRING IN BENNETT Thursday, October 24, 2019
The Dallas Cowboys acquired defensive lineman Michael Bennett from the New England Patriots for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2021.
What does it give the Dallas Cowboys?
The Cowboys recently lost Tyrone Crawford (IR, hip), so adding Bennett here makes sense. Crawford played both end and tackle for Dallas, while Bennett also has experience at both positions along the defensive line. So, Bennett should provide some depth this season.
What does it give the New England Patriots?
Bennett complained recently about a lack of playing time in New England, which prompted the Patriots to suspend him for one game. The writing here was on the wall, so the Pats moved Bennett in exchange for a seventh-rounder in '21 that might turn into a sixth.
Fantasy Impact
Bennett will not see enough snaps in Dallas to make a fantasy impact, so he should continue to be ignored in virtually all IDP leagues.
