Ralph Furley Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Anyone hear of anything lately with Bennett? I heard trade talks earlier about possibly going to Houston. Has the talk died down a bit? Anyone know of anything with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Anyone hear of anything lately with Bennett? I heard trade talks earlier about possibly going to Houston. Has the talk died down a bit? Anyone know of anything with him? More recent speculation I can recall is that the Rams were interested in him backing up Action Jackson.

DMD Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 problem is that the Saints were waiting because McAllister was still healing and Bush was not in camp yet so they needed Bennett to be the #1 back for drills. They may not get rid of him until well into training camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 They won't trade him before showcasing him, giving him the opportunity to raise his trade value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Score 1 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Around The NFL: For now, Saints hold on to insurance at running backCompiled By Bill Coats ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 07/16/2006 Despite some reports to the contrary, the Saints seemingly aren't so eager to trade speedy running back Michael Bennett - at least, not yet. The theory is that Bennett, a free-agent signee in the offseason after rushing for 3,174 in five years with the Vikings, was made expendable when New Orleans grabbed USC's Reggie Bush in the first round of the draft. But with Bush unsigned and veteran Deuce McAllister still rehabbing after tearing a knee ligament last year, the Saints are lying low. "We've had several teams express an interest," general manager Mickey Loomis said. "All have made offers, but not good enough yet." The Rams apparently are among Bennett's suitors, as they seek a backup for Steven Jackson while the status of veteran Marshall Faulk, still gimpy after offseason surgery on both knees, remains uncertain. www.stltoday.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marksman Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Saints will hold onto him for the time being. I don't see this guy getting drafted much as #3 on the depth chart in NO, so its more of a wait and see approach, get ready to pounce when he gets moved.

kryptonite Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 IF and I say again, IF Bush holds out or loses playing time due to contract talks (as has been covered in the 4 page post on the subject) and IF Deuce lingers slowly....THEN the speedy Micahel Bennett could be a huge asset and the NO FO could look very, very, very, very smart..... But it is only the end of July.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
