US EditionSource: Eagles Acquire CB Jakorian Bennett From the Raiders in Exchange for DT Thomas Booker
PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, AUG 5 – The Eagles added cornerback Jakorian Bennett to boost competition after losing Darius Slay, with Bennett recording 26 tackles and 8 pass deflections in 10 games last season.
- On Monday night, the Philadelphia Eagles acquired cornerback Jakorian Bennett from the Las Vegas Raiders for defensive tackle Thomas Booker, a league source confirmed to The Inquirer.
- Amid competition at cornerback, Howie Roseman sought reinforcements after Gabe Hall’s emergence made Thomas Booker expendable.
