Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - The Kansas City Chiefs traded running back Michael Bennett to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tuesday for undisclosed draft choices in 2008 and 2009.
The draft choices will be based on Bennett's performance while in Tampa.
The Buccaneers were in desperate need of help in the backfield after losing both Carnell "Cadillac" Williams (for the season) and Michael Pittman (for six to eight weeks) to injuries.
"We believe that the addition of Michael Bennett will strengthen our running back position," said Bucs general manager Bruce Allen.
Bennett has rushed for just 52 yards on 20 carries this season. For his career, the former Wisconsin star has amassed 3,426 yards on 769 carries in stints with Minnesota and Kansas City.
Bennett's best season came in 2002 when he gained 1,296 yards on 255 carries for the Vikings.
"We appreciate Michael Bennett's contributions to the Kansas City Chiefs during his short time with us," Chiefs president Carl Peterson said. "Michael conducted himself as a professional as a member of the Chiefs and we wish him the best in this opportunity with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."
