Overview

  • The deal is a rare preseason player-for-player trade between AFC and NFC teams that hinges on both players passing physical examinations.
  • Bennett, a 2023 fourth-round pick coming off labrum surgery, will join Philadelphia’s training camp battle for the outside cornerback spot opposite Kelee Ringo and Adoree’ Jackson.
  • Booker, a 2022 fifth-round selection with Super Bowl experience, arrives in Las Vegas to reinforce the interior defensive line following Christian Wilkins’s release.
  • Both franchises made the swap to address specific schematic fits—Bennett’s zone-coverage strength suits Vic Fangio’s secondary while Booker offers rotational depth under Pete Carroll.
  • If finalized, the exchange underscores teams’ willingness to adjust their rosters during training camp to optimize depth and scheme compatibility.
