The Philadelphia Eagles added to their secondary depth on Monday night, acquiring Jakorian Bennett from the Las Vegas Raiders for defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
Bennett, the former fourth-round pick, performed well in spurts last year for the Raiders, ranking 22nd in the NFL with seven pass breakups. However, at just 5-foot-10, he doesn’t exactly fit the mold of new coach Pete Carroll’s penchant for long, lengthy cornerbacks.
Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported earlier in the week that Bennett was the odd man out of the first-team defense at Raiders practices, with the trio of Eric Stokes, Decamerion Richardson, and Darien Porter getting the majority of the snaps.
