SPECULATION/RUMOR: Michael Bennett seeking trade

[volsunghawk]

More confirmation.

Something isn't right here.

That's not more confirmation, for the record.

The only source on this is Clarence Hill. Until there's some other independent confirmation that doesn't cite Hill's tweets, this is just a drummed-up rumor.

Something isn't right here.

That's not more confirmation. That's another media outlet quoting the same source.

PFT doesn't start quoting sources unless they think they can trust them. I see that as confirmation that this rumor is legitimate.

 

[Hawknballs]

He sees that Wagner is going to be paid, RW going to be paid, Beast is already paid. Writing is on the wall.

not sure why that would matter - Bennett got paid last off-season.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

We just can't go a week without drama.

 

[Hyak]

Don't sign a long-term deal if you want to live year to year by market prices changing.

I love Bennett as a player but you cannot have it both ways.

 

[SnoCoHawk]

"But he apparently sees the market changing for pass-rushers, and wants to get back in on it..."

Is this code for "he wants more money?"

[Hawknballs]

could be worse, our entire linebacking corps could be retiring.

 

[Siouxhawk]

He just signed a contract last year and is getting $7 million plus a year. Why do players think they shouldn't honor that contract just because free agents boost the market some? He shouldn't have signed for 4 years then.

PFT is like TMZ. Florio constantly throws shit against the wall and hope it sticks.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

What would Bennett bring us back in a trade? I'd guess a 2nd rounder?

Anyone know ATL's cap situation, would they have to trade us someone for Bennett, or could they simply just take Bennett on and give us a draft pick?

How in the world does Clarence Hill have this info?...It is bullshit, and you that believe it are a FISH ON !!!!!!

Yes, but usually not when he is quoting sources. Florio does lots of opinion pieces, and in those cases you are absolutely correct. But there have been some hot rumors floating around that PFT won't touch because they don't trust the source.

 

[GCrow]

I'm gonna give this claim roughly about an hour until it gets shot down.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Bottom line, Bennett's got three years left on his deal so he has ZERO leverage to demand or "seek" anything.

 

[Hawknballs]

Ok Atlanta can have him for Julio Jones.

You're either going to look smart, or dumb af. No splinters in your ass, sir.

 

[HawkAroundTheClock]

Has Bennett had any recent interaction with a 49er?

Maybe their Offseason Exodus Disorder is communicable. :?

So they start a rumor that, if true, would indicate that the Seahawks have an enormous need for a pass rusher and would make it more likely that they would sign Hardy? That would be smart of them...
