The trade comes after Bennett was suspended by the Patriots last week for conduct detrimental to the team.
"We're onto this week. We've moved past a lot of things this year. We're onto the Browns," said Patriots Bill Belichick on Wednesday when asked about Bennett's return.
By trading Bennett, New England clears about $2.6 million in cap space.
Bennett With Patriots
Last week, Bennett was suspended by the Patriots after getting in an argument with defensive line coach Bret Bielema during practice.
“On Friday, I had a philosophical disagreement with my position coach that has led to my suspension. I apologize to my teammates for any distraction this may have caused,” Bennett said in a statement at the time.
The argument came as Bennett’s snap count and percentage were decreasing every week.
Here is a look at Bennett’s snaps as a Patriot.
Week 1 - 37 snaps, (55% of defensive snaps)
Week 2 - 25 snaps, (40% of defensive snaps)
Week 3 - 19 snaps (38% of defensive snaps)
Week 4 - 24 snaps (30% of defensive snaps)
Week 5 - 15 snaps ( 25% of defensive snaps)
Week 6 - 11 snaps (22 % of defensive snaps)
In his limited snaps, Bennett has 2.5 sacks and four solo tackles on the year.
He also has four quarterback hits.
