Seattle to trade DE Michael Bennett to Atlanta?

[Ja Rhule]

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports Seahawks DE Michael Bennett is seeking a trade to Atlanta, and a new contract.

It's a bizarre source for a Seahawks/Falcons trade rumor, but Clarence Hill is a respected reporter. Bennett played his high school and college ball in Texas. Atlanta is not a random destination, as it would reunite Bennett with his defensive coordinator for both his seasons in Seattle, Dan Quinn. Coming off a seven-sack campaign, Bennett is just one season into a four-year, $32 million contract.

Makes sense for Hardy to Seattle news.

[Mr. Scot]

That's interesting.

[Ja Rhule]

That's interesting.

I think the second Hardy signs with Seattle, Bennett will offloaded to Atlanta.

[LinvilleGorge]

Well, that explains their interest in Hardy.

For a second the title made me think of the HB back in the day.  Thought he had a ton of potential when he was in Minny...I wonder whatever happened to him?

They may be trying to get Atlanta's pick so they can acquire a top WR, plus DGB.

Dallas will sign Hardy and Bennett will be SoL.

Bennett for a top 1st rounder? Quinn would have to be on crack.

I hate Seattle so much. And its that begrudging, "I hate you because I wish we did things a bit more like you" sort of way, which kills a bit of every man's soul. But they just relentlessly, with no regard for what the rest of the league think, just do everything they can to win.

Good for them to try to improve and win a super bowl. I'm sure we can sign Bersin's cousin to be our Safety

Comments like this annoy the hell put of me.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Perhaps. But I believe you're underestimating Bennett's market value.

Lots of coaches overestimate their own former guys.

Hard to say.

They've had the ultimate taste - two consecutive super bowl appearances. They are working hard to sustain success because the only place for them to go is down. They aren't resting on laurels.
