The Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a trade to send DE Michael Bennett to Philly. Bennett was traded along with a 7th round pick in the upcoming 2018 NFL Draft in exchange for WR Marcus Johnson and a 5th round pick in this year’s draft. So who are the winners and losers of the Michael Bennett trade?

Bennett is regarded as one of the best defensive linemen in the league over the past few seasons, but his play has dipped recently and with a cap hit of $6.6 million this season, the Seahawks shipped him to the Eagles. Bennett had 8.5 sacks this season, but only had 1 in his final 5 games.

Johnson is heading into his 3rd NFL season, but only caught five passses for 45 yards in 10 games for the Eagles last season. He is viewed as a deep threat, who could possibly be a replacement for Seahawks free agent WR Paul Richardson. Hosts Tom Downey and Cam Rogers break down the trade in this segment from NFL Daily.
