There has been alot of talk that we absolutely have to resign Michael Bennett, and I agree that he is a priority but he shouldn't get Percy Harvin type money.
I dont know what kind of money he's looking for, but if he thinks he is going to get superstar $$ I think he should go looking else where and here's why:
1. His stats are impressive but not Elite: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/12762/michael-bennett
* 8.5 sacks is damn good especially for a DT/LE hybrid, but he is 29th on the list for sacks.
2. He is a good fit on this team because of how he is used and the players that complement him.
3. Seahawks are set to make another SB run
4. Team has alot of other pass rushers that have or will contribute.
5. He's 28 yrs old.
He should certainly see a raise and longer contract, but not a major increase in what he made last year. He made 4.8 M on a 1 yr. So I could see a 5-7 M escalating 4-year contract with some serious guaranteed money say in 10-12M range.
Cliff Avril will hit our cap for 9.25 M and in IMO is the best pass rusher on our team.
We have alot of guys to re-sign to keep this team together, I just hope guys don't get too prideful and greedy.
And dont give me the "I got to take care/feed my family" BS line, if you cant do that with a few million a year than you got personal issues.
