Michael Bennett plans to stay in the Patriots' locker room in the fall. Michael Bennett, the former Philadelphia Eagles defensive end, was traded Monday to the Patriots. He’ll remain in the locker room for the anthem, an option players were given after negotiations with owners, rather than sitting or kneeling or raising a fist. “I explained to them that my integrity means everything,” he said, speaking of his new team Monday at Princeton University (via ESPN). He knows full well, too, that Coach Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and owner Robert Kraft are friends with Trump.
