The Makings of a Possible Trade for Bennett
 

We all know that the Saints have been shopping Michael Bennett around for a possible trade. And we also know that one of the four parties interested in Bennett is Houston. Couple that with the fact that they are interested in trading veteran LB Kailee Wong, and you have the makings of a win-win situation for both teams, if (and it's a big if) he is medically cleared.

Here's an excerpt from an article on Yahoo! Sports by Charles Robinson:

"Kailee Wong, LB, Houston Texans – With the additions at linebacker and Wong's knee issues, his $2 million base salary – and the remaining three years and $8.625 million left on his deal – make it a virtual certainty that he'll be let go. The problem at this point is that Wong's injuries have kept him from returning to the field this summer. As of this week, he still hasn't gotten medical clearance, and a potential injury grievance means the Texans can't part ways with him until he does. That said, the 30-year old Wong should have plenty left in the tank to be a solid
two- to three-year starter for potential suitors."

I understand that he is coming off of a knee injury, but he is just one year removed from a season with 5.5 sacks, 3 Ints, and 71 tackles. Being medically cleared is the main issue.

He will probably be released anyway...so trading Bennett for him doesnt make a lot of sense...the saints would be better off trading him for someone with fewer question marks or even for a pick in next year's draft.

Yeah i agree. We can still take a chance on Wong, but pick him up after he is released
