On Halloween, the Bills sent running back Greg Bell, their 1st. round draft pick in 1988 and their 1st. and 2nd. round picks in 1989 to the Colts for Bennett. The Colts sent the entire package as well as their own 1st. and 2nd. rounders in '88 and a 2nd. rounder in '89 plus running back Owen Gill to the Rams for running back Eric Dickerson. The Bills signed Bennett for five years for $3.875 million. Said Buffalo general manager Bill Polian, explaining the logic behind the trade, "Right off, Bennett is our number one pick for 1988. If he does for us what I think he'll do, we would be picking in the middle of the first round next year or higher up the next year. Who knows who we'd get? As it turns out, we get Bennett a year ahead of time."
This off-season is starting to shappe up to be just as exciting as when we picked up biscuit :up:
