Report: Raiders deal Bennett to Eagles for Booker
The Philadelphia Eagles added to their secondary depth Monday night, acquiring Jakorian Bennett from the Las Vegas Raiders for defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Bennett, a former fourth-round pick, performed well in spurts last year for the Raiders, ranking 22nd in the NFL with seven pass breakups. However, at 5-foot-10, he doesn't exactly fit new coach Pete Carroll's penchant for long, lengthy cornerbacks.
He was the odd man out of the first-team defense at Raiders practices, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported earlier in the week, with the trio of Eric Stokes, Decamerion Richardson, and Darien Porter getting the majority of the snaps.
Bennett joins an Eagles secondary that parted with Darius Slay in the offseason, leaving an opening at outside corner on the other side of Quinyon Mitchell. Adoree' Jackson and Kelee Ringo have battled in camp for that spot.
Booker arrives in Las Vegas after the Raiders released defensive tackle Christian Wilkins in July.
The former Stanford defender started just one game last year for the Super Bowl champions, but he saw action in 17 contests.
