NFL player. Position: Cornerback (CB). Team: Philadelphia Eagles.
Quick Facts
- Position: Cornerback
- Team: PHI (Philadelphia Eagles)
- Background: 2023 4th-round pick (No. 104 overall) by Las Vegas Raiders; traded to Philadelphia
2026 Outlook
Bennett is competing for snaps in one of the NFL's deepest cornerback rooms. Originally drafted by Las Vegas in 2023, he was traded to Philadelphia and struggled to earn consistent snaps last season, recording just seven tackles in 11 games. He faces significant competition from Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Riq Woolen, and Kelee Ringo, with limited margin for error. Bennett's opportunity to establish himself came last summer during training camp but he failed to convert it into regular-season playing time (per Eagles Have Two Notable Players Who Could Be Traded - heavy.com).
Like Kelee Ringo, Bennett is in the final year of his contract and has been identified as a potential trade candidate. If he doesn't emerge as a trusted reserve during the 2026 preseason, the Eagles may explore moving him for draft capital (per Eagles Have Two Notable Players Who Could Be Traded - heavy.com).
